The incredible diversity of sagebrush chemistry and its potential value in restoration
Sagebrushes are champion chemists and famous for their abundant and complex volatile bouquets. The chemical make-up of sagebrushes plays important roles in plant fitness and survival and is an unseen but fundamental component of sagebrush habitats. In this webinar, Justin Runyon, Research Entomologist, USFS RMRS, discusses the diversity, distribution, possible functions, and potential restoration use of sagebrush chemistry, focusing on volatiles.
