This grant, offered by the US Geological Survey’s Southwest Biological Science Center (SBSC), is for CESU-affiliated partners to conduct critical field data collection within big sagebrush ecosystems. The purpose is to thoroughly sample and characterize plant species composition, vegetation structure, and soil conditions at selected sites. Big sagebrush ecosystems are vital for wildlife and livestock grazing, contributing significantly to rural western economies. However, these communities are declining due to invasive annual grasses and a changing climate. This funding aims to gather essential data to understand the transformations occurring, providing foundational knowledge to address their ongoing decline and inform future conservation.

| Description: | The US Geological Survey, Southwest Biological Science Center (SBSC), is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for field data collection of plant species composition, vegetation structure, and soil conditions in big sagebrush ecosystems. Big sagebrush ecosystems provide habitat for a range of wildlife species and support livestock grazing, which is an important contributor to the sustainability of rural western economies and is nearly ubiquitous within the sagebrush biome. However, big sagebrush plant communities are in decline and being transformed by multiple threats including invasive annual grasses and changing climate. The goal of this opportunity is to enable scientists of CESU Partner to sample vegetation and soils in big sagebrush ecosystems. The objective of this opportunity is data characterizing the species composition, vegetation structure and soil conditions at selected big sagebrush shrubland sites. |
