  • Natural resource management confronts the growing scale and severity of ecosystem responses to drought and wildfire

    Open AccessSeth Munson, Seth M Munson et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2024

    Intensification of drought and wildfire associated with climate change has triggered widespread ecosystem stress and transformation. Natural resource managers are on the frontline of these changes, yet their perspectives on whether management actions match the scale and align with the severity of ecosystem responses to improve outcomes are not well understood. To provide new insight, a new conceptual framework that linked scale and severity was t…

  • Time, climate, and soil settings set the course for reclamation outcomes following dryland energy development

    Open AccessRandi Lupardus, Randi C Lupardus et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2023

    Soil attributes, climate, and time since reclamation have important implications for oil and gas reclamation success on drylands. It is uncertain if reclaimed well pads, on highly degraded drylands, can successfully regain ecological function or meet indicator benchmarks for reclamation. Here, our goals were to assess patterns in reclamation outcomes relative to (1) soil attributes, climate, and time since reclamation; and (2) plant and soil refe…

  • Livestock removal increases plant cover across a heterogeneous dryland landscape on the Colorado Plateau

    Open AccessBrandon E McNellis, Anna C Knight et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Livestock removal is increasingly used as a management option to mitigate the negative impacts of grazing-related disturbances on rangelands. Removal generally increases plant cover, but it is unclear when, where, and by how much plant and soil cover changes can be expected. On the Colorado Plateau, complex geology, topography, soils, and climate all interact to mediate the relationship between land cover, climate, and disturbance. In this study …

  • Guiding principles for using satellite-derived maps in rangeland management

    Open AccessBrady W Allred, Brady Allred et al.ARTICLERangelands2022

    Rangeland management has entered a new era with the accessibility and advancement of satellite-derived maps. Maps provide a comprehensive view of rangelands in space and time, and challenge us to think critically about natural variability. Here, we advance the practice of using satellite-derived maps with four guiding principles designed to increase end user confidence and thereby accessibility of these data for decision-making

  • Sampling design workflows and tools to support adaptive monitoring and management

    Open AccessNelson G Stauffer, Michael C Duniway et al.ARTICLERangelands2022

    Adaptive land management requires monitoring of resource conditions, which requires choices about where and when to monitor a landscape. Designing a sampling design for a monitoring program can be broken down in to eight steps: identifying questions, defining objectives, selecting reporting units, deciding data collection methods, defining the sample frame, selecting an appropriate design type, deciding stratification and allocation, and identify…
