The historical role of fire in sagebrush ( Artemisia tridentata ) landscapes remains poorly understood yet is important to inform management and conservation of obligate species such as the threatened Gunnison Sage-grouse (GUSG; Centrocercus minimus ). We reconstructed fire histories from tree-ring

The data package contains model input files and executables for the East River, Colorado (750 km2) located in the headwaters of the Upper Colorado River Basin. The code applied is the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Groundwater and Surface Water Flow (GSFLOW) model. A Readme.txt file provides instruct

We collected data at three sites in Washington Gulch near the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL, Gothic, Colorado, USA) from June to August 2021 and 2022. RMBL is located in the East River valley of the West Elk mountains, approximately 10 kilometers from Crested Butte, Colorado. Study site

This is a map of the influence of snow on the energy available for plant growth (growing degree days, GDD) in late summer and fall for the Upper Gunnison domain, derived from daily maximum temperature maps interpolated from weather station and microclimate sensor data combined with Landsat-derived e

Bromus tectorum L. (Cheatgrass, Downy brome) is an invasive grass that has recently proliferated within the Gunnison Basin, Colorado. This study examined variation in germination in response to temperature, storage duration, and habitat. Four populations within the Gunnison Basin were sampled. Seeds

Anthropogenically induced climate change is expected to effect numerous climatic alterations pertinent to ecosystems, including increased mean global temperature and altered precipitation regimes. High-elevation ecosystems are especially sensitive to climatic changes because slight fluctuations in f

The impacts of growing deer populations upon biodiversity have caused concern for ecologists since it is speculated that certain species of herbs are targeted and over abundantly browsed. This study investigated deer abundance as well as intensity of deer browsing of herbaceous plants inside and out

I investigated the pollination ecology of Cardamine. Cordifolia, and how pollinators affected fruit and seed production especially in relation to variation in herbivory and habitat type in 2 different sites. Site 1 was more exposed to the sunlight and site 2 was less exposed to the sunlight. I inves

Although flowering traits are often assumed to be under strong selection by pollinators, significant variation in such traits remains the norm for most plant species. Thus, it is likely that the interactions among plants, mutualists, and other selective agents, such as antagonists, ultimately shape

Previous studies have shown that plant species diversity, habitat type, elevation, and temperature affect ant community structure. In this study, I examined the roles of these factors at 10 sites in and around Gothic, CO in aspen stands and meadows. Data gathered through baiting experiments and pitf
