Sagebrush ecosystems continue to undergo widespread degradation due partly to climate change and human development. Effective management must consider how to best conserve and restore habitats to balance support for multiple declining species given finite resources. However, limited tools exist to help address such management questions, especially when also considering how to rapidly restore sagebrush habitats. There is a need for such tools to help guide conservation efforts and ensure they are effective at meeting desired outcomes and goals.We will develop optimization problems based on species abundance, habitat features, predicted future risk (invasive grasses, pinyon juniper encroachment, development, wildfire,...

There is a critical science need of identifying costs, amortized into the future, associated with prioritizing invasive annual grass management as fuels management to prevent costs of further wildland fire in high priority core areas. An invasive annual grass economic assessment will increase awareness of the resource needs and cost-effectiveness based on an evaluation of return on investment through a spatially prioritized approach for implementation. Realistic estimates for costs and ecological outcomes from allocation scenarios will define resources needed stepped down from a conservation design of Defend and Grow the Core Sagebrush Areas. This information will directly inform programmatic implementation levels...

The Conservation Efforts Database (CED) is a web-based data portal collecting information from federal and non-federal partners on management actions that benefit sagebrush ecosystems and greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) habitat. This project leverages the existing hierarchical population modeling framework and modifies it to identify when significantly declining populations of sage-grouse have recovered to reflect broader-scale trends, and whether that recovery can be linked to conservation actions that occurred across the geographic range of sage-grouse aimed at improving habitat conditions or mitigating environmental stressors. Outcomes of the project will include peer-reviewed scientific evidence...
Vast areas of the PNW remain data deficient with respect to the estimated more than 750 wild bee species that provide essential ecosystem services there. The Oregon Bee Atlas is working with expert volunteer Master Melittologists to address these deficits by conducting intensive multi-method inventory and monitoring field work throughout the state and with a special focus in Grassland and Sagebrush habitats due to their rich biodiversity. This field work generates species occurrence data, data on community assemblage, ecological data on bee-floral relations, and collects genetic material for hundreds of pollinator species. This informs conservation and restoration of species-at-risk, informs species assessments,...

This project seeks to put science into practice, helping land managers scale-up conservation delivery to address the largest threat to the sagebrush biome: invasive annual grasses. Centered around the proactive Defend and Grow the Core framework, leading experts in applied science and management of invasive annual grasses will embark on a campaign to equip land managers with the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to implement effective invasive annual grass management. Experts will translate the latest science into highly usable technical materials, foster experiential learning through field workshops and online modules, and establish an innovative multi-state demonstration and monitoring network that enables adaptive...
