Economic Implications of Sagebrush Treatment and Restoration Practices Across the Great Basin and Wyoming Active
USGS and Colorado State University researchers are conducting analyses and predictions of sagebrush recovery in the Great Basin and Wyoming and assess the role of weather, soils, and reseeding treatments.
USGS and Colorado State University researchers will conduct analyses and predictions of sagebrush recovery in the Great Basin and Wyoming and assess the role of weather, soils, and reseeding treatments. They will then leverage these analyses and predictions to conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis. In doing so, they will assess the cost of various practices for treating or restoring sagebrush habitats relative to outcomes while accounting for variation in resilience across space and time. The intent is to pilot a decision support tool that identifies the most efficient investment for the fastest sagebrush recovery in the Great Basin and Wyoming, taking into account site-level conditions, vegetation treatment, and cost.
