Journal ArticleDOI
Historical and Modern Disturbance Regimes, Stand Structures, and Landscape Dynamics in Piñon–Juniper Vegetation of the Western United States
William H. Romme,Craig D. Allen,John D. Bailey,William L. Baker,Brandon T. Bestelmeyer,Peter M. Brown,Karen S. Eisenhart,M. Lisa Floyd,David W. Huffman,Brian F. Jacobs,Brian F. Jacobs,Richard F. Miller,Esteban Muldavin,Thomas W. Swetnam,Robin J. Tausch,Peter J. Weisberg +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized what we know (and don't know) about three fundamentally different kinds of pinon-juniper vegetation, and provided a source of information for managers and policy makers, and stimulate researchers to address the most important unanswered questions.
ReportDOI
Age Structure and Expansion of Piñon-Juniper Woodlands: A Regional Perspective in the Intermountain West
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the chronology of expansion for woodlands across different geographic regions or determined the mix and extent of presettlement stands in the Intermountain West.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understory Cover Responses to Piñon–Juniper Treatments Across Tree Dominance Gradients in the Great Basin
Bruce A. Roundy,Richard F. Miller,Robin J. Tausch,Kert R. Young,April Hulet,Benjamin M. Rau,Brad Jessop,Jeanne C. Chambers,Dennis L. Eggett +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, prescribed fire and tree felling were applied to 8-20-ha treatment plots at 11 sites across the Great Basin with a tree-shredding treatment also applied to four Utah sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Piñon–Juniper Reduction Increases Soil Water Availability of the Resource Growth Pool
Bruce A. Roundy,Kert R. Young,Nathan L. Cline,April Hulet,Richard F. Miller,Robin J. Tausch,Jeanne C. Chambers,Benjamin M. Rau +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured soil water matric potentials and temperatures using gypsum blocks and thermocouples buried at 0.01-0.3 m on tree, shrub, and interspace microsites to characterize the seasonal soil climate of 13 tree-encroached sites across the Great Basin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Response of Conifer-Encroached Shrublands in the Great Basin to Prescribed Fire and Mechanical Treatments
Richard F. Miller,Jaime Ratchford,Bruce A. Roundy,Robin J. Tausch,April Hulet,Jeanne C. Chambers +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the general response of understory vegetation to tree canopy removal in conifer-encroached shrublands, and set up a regionwide study that measured treatmentinduced changes in understory cover and density.
