The need for this information is greater than ever, because of recent plans to apply largescale fuel treatments across the Western United States, region dominated by sagebrushsteppe and pionjuniper vegetation..

More recently, mechanical and chemical thinning methods have replaced chaining, often followed by seeding andor burning.

In an attempt to restore historical conditions, postsettlement trees have been removed to free resources for sagebrush steppe vegetation to become reestablished.

The need for this information is greater than ever, because of recent plans to apply largescale fuel treatments across the Western United States, region dominated by sagebrushsteppe and pionjuniper vegetation. This woodland expansion has replaced sagebrush steppe vegetation, leading to decreased wildlife habitat, soil seedbanks, and plant species diversity, and increased potential for soil erosion and high intensity crown fire. More recently, mechanical and chemical thinning methods have replaced chaining, often followed by seeding andor burning.
