This grant by the USGS aims to support a CESU partner in studying perennial grass responses to post-fire grazing management in the Great Basin. The research will focus on grass tiller responses, plant reproduction, seedling survival, and growth to understand the impact of livestock grazing on perennial grass resiliency. Applications should be submitted by March 3, 2015, to advance the knowledge of promoting resiliency in sagebrush plant communities.

| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to advance the understanding of perennial grass responses to alternative post-fire grazing management approaches for promoting resiliency in sagebrush plant communities in the Great Basin.
The goals of this research are to investigate perennial grass responses to alternative post-fire grazing management approaches. It will focus on grass tiller responses and plant reproduction because they are the most important factors dictating perennial grass survival and vigor after disturbances. In addition, it will examine seedling survival and growth of recruited seedlings to determine the impact of livestock grazing on their establishment. |
