[PCA] Conserving the Disappearing Sagebrush Ecosystem

[De Angelis, Patricia]

 Supporting over 350 plants and animals, the sagebrush ecosystem is one of
the largest in North America - but it’s in danger of disappearing. The US

sagebrush areas for management and determine effective management
strategies based on ecosystem resilience to disturbance and resistance to
invasive plants.
