Decision tree for managing invasive annual grasses

View factsheet (opens in new tab).

We are losing an average of 1.3 M acres of functional rangelands each year in the sagebrush biome, largely driven by invasive annual grasses (IAGs). This document intends to empower rangeland managers and practitioners to explore treatment options by providing a broad overview of management strategies where rangelands are vulnerable to IAGs. The decision tree below walks through key questions with  generalized, science-based information where available (e.g., % cover thresholds) to inform decisions, leading to management strategies with potential actions on the reverse side.
