The proposed work seeks to integrate recently developed data products from the Sagebrush Conservation Design effort - particularly those relating to conifer, invasive annual grasses, and structural connectivity (the permeability of the landscape based on its structural characteristics) - with sagebrush sagebrush
The western United States’ sagebrush country encompasses over 175 million acres of public and private lands. The sagebrush landscape provides many benefits to our rural economies and communities, and it serves as crucial habitat for a diversity of wildlife, including the iconic greater sage-grouse and over 350 other species.
Learn more about sagebrush -obligate wildlife species' functional connectivity (the permeability of the landscape based on its facilitation or impedance of organisms' movements). We will identify areas where connectivity pathways could be maintained (prevention targets) or restored (restoration targets).
