This grant is designed to support a project focusing on evaluating the benefits and limitations of inoculating big sagebrush seedlings with Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF). The research aims to establish a framework and protocols to effectively assess the impact of AMF on sagebrush seedling success in restoration projects. By enhancing understanding of critical mycorrhizae types, this project will contribute valuable insights that can optimize management practices for sagebrush ecosystems.

| Description: | Assess and inform the needs for sagebrush seedling inoculation with AMF. Inoculation with AMF is often practiced in restoration projects, but without a clear evaluation of its benefits and limitations. The proposed project will help provide an important framework and protocol(s) to help assess the effectiveness of this management practice and increase the understanding of the types of mycorrhizae critical for sagebrush seedling success. |
