	Sagebrush - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sagebrush, or Big Sagebrush (or Common Sagebrush, Blue Sagebrush, Black Sagebrush) is the common name for Artemisia tridentata, a shrub or small tree from the composite family (Asteraceae).
		Sagebrush leaves are wedge-shaped, and are attached to the branch by the narrow end.
		Cattle that resort to sagebrush due to the lack of other fodder in the winter often freeze to death before starving, as they rely in large part on the heat of their digestive action for warmth.

	ARS \| Publication request: Influence of Sagebrush and Grass Seeding Rates on Sagebrush Density and Plant Size (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Establishing Wyoming big sagebrush has been difficult to re-establish on mined lands because of the competition provided by the perennial grass stand that is required to be established to stabilize the soil against erosion and to provide forage of equal or greater production of that prior to disturbance.
		Sagebrush seedling density has not shown a response to grass seeding rates over three years (1999-2001) but have exhibited significant sagebrush seedling size response to grass seeding rate.
		Sagebrush seedling density declined at the higher grass seeding rates in 2001 but seedling density was not significantly affected by grass seeding rates (P=0.12).

		Sagebrush, that pungent, ubiquitous emblem of the arid West, is not nearly so ubiquitous after the devastating wildfires that have become an unwelcome hallmark of summer.
		Sagebrush seed has become a hot commodity because the plant is losing the battle for survival -- first to wildfires that easily kill it, and then to fast-growing weeds such as cheatgrass that crowd the slow-growing sagebrush out of its home after fires.
		Typically, sagebrush seeds are harvested by whacking the bush with a tennis racket because this does the least amount of damage to the plant.

	Species: Artemisia tridentata ssp. tridentata
		Basin big sagebrush may serve as emergency food during severe winter weather, but it is not usually sought out by livestock or wildlife [7].
		Sagebrush seed is not disseminated for great distances so off-site sources are probably less important than on-site seed [43].
		Where sagebrush reduction is a desired goal, prescribed burns in basin big sagebrush communities tend to be more successful than those in Wyoming big sagebrush, but less successful than those in mountain big sagebrush [19].

	Effects of Management Practices on Grassland Birds: Greater Sage-Grouse
		Sagebrush cover within the range of sage-grouse in Canada is generally less than that in the southern portions of the species' range (Aldridge and Brigham 2002), suggesting that the guidelines may require adjustment when used in northern fringe habitats.
		Sage-grouse broods at the Sheldon NWR used primarily sagebrush uplands (low sagebrush and mountain and Wyoming big sagebrush) during 1978 and 1980; however, during the drought year of 1979, use was greater in wet meadows, and upland sites were abandoned by broods by late summer (Klebenow 1985).
		Eng and Schladweiler (1972) suggested that sagebrush removal in winter habitats, which may compose a small portion of the year-round habitat of sage-grouse, may be especially detrimental because of the relatively long periods that winter habitat may be occupied by sage-grouse.

	Rainforest to Grassland, Sagebrush Steppe
		An important plant community in the dry landscape of the Columbia Basin of central Washington is the sagebrush steppe.
		Historically, the Washington sagebrush steppe was dominated by sagebrush interspersed with perennial bunchgrasses.
		In particular, neither sagebrush nor perennial bunchgrasses are resistant to heavy grazing, and, after it was introduced by settlers to Washington, grazing led quickly to the colonization of disturbed steppe by plants, typically annual grasses and herbs, better-adapted to it.

		The Sagebrush Rebellion is the name applied to a movement which gained momentum in the 1960s in the western United States and especially in the State of Nevada, to return control of federal lands to individual states.
		Assembly Bill 413 entitled the "Sagebrush Rebellion" bill and passed by the 1979 Nevada Legislature, was designed to create a board of review and provide for state control of certain lands within state boundaries.
		Over the years, issues of the Sagebrush Rebellion have included allotments of grazing rights, mining development, military land withdrawal, closure of selected public lands to hunting and fishing, and the proposed MX Missile defense system.

		The common sagebrush (A. tridentata) is a many-branched shrub, usually 1 to 2 m (about 3 to 6.5 feet) high, with silvery gray, bitter-aromatic foliage.
		Founded in 1886 on the main line of the Union Pacific Railroad at the junction of a branch to Boise (20 miles [32 km] east), it was a hamlet in the sagebrush desert until irrigation made farming possible starting in the 1890s.
		The best known of several species is the common, or basin, sagebrush, a many-branched plant.

	SageBrush Rebellion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Sagebrush Rebellion is known as organized resistance in the West to federal public land policies.
		The land that is the focus of the Sagebrush Rebellion came into federal possession in one of three ways: cession from Mexico at the end of the Mexican-American War (1848), obtained from Great Britian in the Oregon Compromise of 1846, or in the Gadsden Purchase from Mexico in 1853.
		The main cause of the defeat of the Sagebrush Rebellion was the States' inability to establish the basic legal claim that the public domain truly belongs to the States.

	Big sagebrush - DesertUSA
		Sagebrush ecosystems have the largest habitat range in the United States, covering nearly four hundred and seventy thousand square miles across eleven western states.
		Big sagebrush is an important winter browse plant for a number of wildlife species, including pronghorn, mule deer, domestic livestock, sage grouse and many small mammals.
		These areas, known as leks, are the scenes of early morning activity in which males inflate yellow air sacs located in their chest, puff up their feathers and spread their tail feathers before strutting around the lek in the attempt to bond with one or more females.

	Species: Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis
		Wyoming big sagebrush is generally the most palatable of the big sagebrush subspecies, and big game species use it heavily, especially in winter [112,131].
		Basin big sagebrush tends to occupy the deepest, most fertile soils, and mountain big sagebrush tends to occupy moderately deep soils that are wetter and cooler than those occupied by Wyoming big sagebrush [7,19,150].
		Wyoming big sagebrush establishes after fire from the seedbank [12,90,112]; from seed produced by remnant plants that escaped fire [29]; and from plants adjacent to the burn that seed in [29,31].
