This grant is for continuing long-term ecological monitoring within the Sagebrush Steppe Treatment Evaluation Project (SageSTEP). Its purpose is to extend crucial data collection at ten sites for 8-10 years post-treatment, providing land managers vital information on how sagebrush steppe ecosystems respond to climate change and restoration efforts. The initiative aims to assess long-term trajectories of key plant and animal populations, linking these to management practices and climate change. Furthermore, it will measure total ecosystem carbon across these lands, determining how restoration treatments alter carbon stores. Ultimately, the grant seeks to equip managers with comprehensive insights into potential conflicts between vegetation/wildlife restoration and carbon management goals, facilitating informed decisions for climate change mitigation and adaptation.

| Description: | This announcement is the full announcement. This proposal seeks to continue monitoring a set of key variables at 5 sites within the Sagebrush Steppe Treatment Evaluation Project (SageSTEP), so that managers will have better information on how sagebrush steppe ecosystems adapt to climate change, with or without alternative restoration treatments. SageSTEP is ideally suited to help managers restore sagebrush steppe communities in the face of changes in vegetation and fire regimes that have resulted from changing climate and from human activities. Our goal now is to extend monitoring at 10 sites into the intermediate term (from 8-10 years post-treatment) so that land managers can better mitigate and adapt to changes in climate in sagebrush steppe lands. Objectives include: 1) assess long-term trajectories in populations of key plant and animal species, and link these trajectories to management restoration treatments and to climate change; 2) measure total ecosystem carbon over a wide geographic area of sagebrush steppe lands within or near the Great Northern LCC, and determine how patterns of carbon stores are altered by management restoration treatments; and 3) provide managers with information on the extent to which vegetation and wildlife restoration goals conflict with goals to manage carbon. |
