Sagebrush maintains healthy grazing land for cattle and is a habitat for animal species like sage grouse and pygmy rabbits. Sagebrush also plays an important role in the water cycle by trapping snow so that it slowly melts in the spring to support wildlife and plants. Cheatgrass invasion threatens this valuable ecosystem. Learn how GEM3 researchers are developing models to identify places where conservation practices might be most important to where sagebrush is most viable and at most risk.
