Notes

"This project assessed the use of mechanical crushing of shrubs as an alternative to prescribed fire to stimulate restoration of cover and vigor of bluebunch wheatgrass and other native herbs. The project design addressed several questions about community responses to range restoration treatments ... This report describes the vegetation response to mechanical crushing for the first 4 growing seasons following treatment"--Page 5.
