Restoration
In this presentation by Dr. Kas Dumroese, Research Plant Physiologist at the Rocky Mountain Research Station, an overview of the role of native plant production and deployment and their applications in a changing climate are discussed within the context of meeting USDA/DOI sage-grouse conservation goals.
In this webinar, Beth Leger, Associate Professor of Plant Ecology, University of Nevada, Reno, discusses using field studies to find the most promising seed sources for restoration.
In this webinar, Derek Tilley, Agronomist and Manager, USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Aberdeen Plant Materials Center, ID, discusses the NRCS’s role in developing native plant material for federal land.
This webinar presented by Stacy Moore, Ecological Education Program, Institute for Applied Ecology (IAE), introduces the Sagebrush in Prisons Project, which is designed to improve habitat for the greater sage-grouse by engaging state prison systems in production of sagebrush and other important plants for habitat restoration on BLM lands. BLM field offices and the IAE grow sagebrush with 11 prisons in 6 states. Inmates are involved in sowing plants, growing them over the summer, and planting-out on BLM land in the fall.
In this webinar, Jayne Belnap, Research Ecologist with USGS, discusses principals, techniques, and answers questions about restoring biological soil crusts in the Great Basin.
In this webinar, Byron Love, Ph.D. candidate at Utah State University and technician with the USDA ARS Pollinating Insects Research Unit, discusses increasing the integration of pollinator-friendly forbs in wildland restoration.
In this webinar, Matt Germino, Research Ecologist, USGS Snake River Field Station, discusses experimental insights on challenges and opportunities regarding climate, weather, and sagebrush seed sources.
This webinar with Francis Kilkenny, Research Biologist with the USFS-RMRS, discusses seed zones as they relate to and become increasingly important with climate change.
In this webinar, Jeanne Chambers, USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station, discusses the importance of resistance to invasion and resilience to disturbance in restoration and management of Great Basin rangelands.
In this webinar, Stuart Hardegree, Plant Physiologist, USDA-ARS, Northwest Watershed Research Center discusses weather impacts on the restoration planning cycle, and describes a weather-centric approach for adaptive management planning on rangelands with invasive annual weeds. This webinar was co-sponsored by the Great Basin Research and Management Partnership.
