Better living through conifer removal: A demographic analysis of sage-grouse vital rates.

Better living through conifer removal: A demographic analysis of sage-grouse vital rates.

Sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) obligate wildlife species such as the imperiled greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) face numerous threats including altered ecosystem processes that have led to conifer expansion into shrub-steppe. Conifer removal is accelerating despite a lack of empirical evi...
