Sagebrush steppe and cheatgrass in the region of Juntura, Oregon
Detailed Description
The Wyoming big sagebrush steppe in this region of Oregon is commonly codominated by Bromus tectorum from the region around Vale westward to Lakeview (excepting upper elevations or sagebrush steppe dominated by other than Wyoming big sagebrush). Chrysothamnus nauseosus and Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus are both common in this area, as are Agropyron cristatum, Elymus elymoides, Stipa thurberiana, and Oryzopsis hymenoides. Crepis is a common herb in this area. These same species occur in burned sagebrush steppe in this area. Photo by Matt Lavin. Some rights reserved.

Evaluating potential vectors of annual grass invasion
Invasive annual grasses, facilitated by a range of disturbances, are invading many areas within the sagebrush biome. Researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey, Colorado State University, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Bureau of Land Management are investigating which non-fire disturbances are most associated with the spread of invasive grasses. The findings from this study could guide...
