Detailed Description
Optimizing conifer removal for multiple species (Sagebrush Ecosystem, Pinyon-Juniper Ecosystem, Multi-ecosystem, Sagebrush Ecosystem + PIJA Weighted, and Multi-ecosystem + PIJA Weighted) is predicted to result in better outcomes for 5 of 6 species compared to when conifer removal is optimized to manage for Brewer’s Sparrow alone (Single Species: BRSP).

Prioritizing conifer removal for multi-species outcomes
Wildlife management is frequently conducted to benefit a single species, despite evidence that suggests such an approach often fails to adequately address the needs of other species within a region. Managing for multiple species’ habitat requirements is even more critical when large scale habitat management efforts change vegetation conditions at the landscape scale, or when management occurs at...

A multi-ecosystem prioritization framework to balance competing habitat conservation needs of multiple species in decline
ContextIndividual species often drive habitat restoration action; however, management under this paradigm may negatively affect non-target species. Prioritization frameworks which explicitly consider benefits to target species while minimizing consequences for non-target species may improve management strategies and outcomes.ObjectivesWe examined extents to which conifer removal, an approach frequ
