Abstract: The objective of this project is to evaluate and quantify the relationship of various-aged sagebrush communities to the abundance, distribution, use, and welfare of sagebrush-associated game and nongame wildlife species. Plant community parameters, including the seasonal nutritional contribution of the various seral stages will be investigated. Seasonal distribution and abundance of small mammals, passerine birds, sage grouse, pronghorn, mule deer, and elk associated with the various seral communities will be documented to provide diversity indices useful for the long-term management of rangeland vegetation and associated wildlife populations. The study area is located in Sublette County, Wyoming.
