Detection and Analysis of Spatiotemporal Changes in Great Basin Groundwater Dependent Vegetation Vigor
(2016)Throughout much of the arid Western United States, groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs; those in which the flora necessarily rely on surface expressions of groundwater) represent hotspots of biodiversity, providing ... -

Do Framont cottonwoods differentially experience drought stress across a small, restored reach of the Lower Truckee River?
(2023)River floodplains experience frequent flooding and deposition. Although flooding can be a disturbance to vegetation, it can also lead to nutrient-rich soils and abundant water making them hotspots for biodiversity and ... -

If the Desert Blooms: A Technological Perspective on Paleoindian Ecology in the Great Basin from the Old River Bed, Utah
(2011)The earliest inhabitants of the Great Basin adapted to a well-watered environment that was already set to disappear. This much seems clear from paleoenvironmental data, but a good understanding of how the declining ecosystem ... -

Near-Surface Air Temperature in Complex Terrain: Daily Predictions of Fine-Scale (30 m) Temperature in the Snake Range, Nevada, USA
(2015)Air temperature is arguably the most important component of the mountain climate, and scientists have been studying it for centuries. Recently, researchers have used arrays of inexpensive temperature sensors to observe and ... -

Restoration and evolution in the Great Basin: non-target herbicide effects and potential for adaptive responses to fire
(2022)Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) has dramatically transformed the Great Basin and increased the incidence of fire to the detriment of native plants. In Chapter 1, we assessed the potential for rapid evolution in Great Basin ... -

Utilizing Remote Sensing to Generate Disturbance Response Group Extent and Vegetative State Maps in MLRA 25
(2019)Disturbance and management decisions on western landscapes occur at a scale far larger than ecological site mapping. Disturbance response groups aggregate ecological sites based upon disturbance ecology, and allow for ...
