A Regional Experiment to Evaluate Effects of Fire and Fire Surrogate Treatments in the Sagebrush Biome
The study would: 1) provide managers with improved information to restore ecological communities that is relevant across the 100+ million acres of the sagebrush biome; 2) match the temporal and spatial scales at which managers operate; 3) reduce management risk and uncertainty of catastrophic wildfire to the greatest degree possible; and 4) provide managers with information that would allow them to better understand tradeoffs inherent in the choice of management alternatives.
