This fact sheet gives tools and strategies for reestablishing perennial-dominated plant communities in medusahead-invaded areas, which helps restore and protect vital sagebrush habitat.
Fact Sheet No. 3: Reestablishing Perennial-Dominated Plant Communities
in Medusahead-Invaded Sagebrush Rangeland
By: Dustin Johnson and Kirk W. Davies
Summary:
This fact sheet provides tools and strategies to restore sagebrush rangelands that have been invaded by medusahead. Reestablishing perennial-dominated plant communities reduces the risk of landscape-scale wildfire, increases forage for livestock, improves habitat for wildlife, prevents reinvasion of medusahead, and protects adjacent uninvaded areas.
