From: Fuel treatment response groups for fire-prone sagebrush landscapes
The primary treatment response groups (TRGs) with assigned fuel treatments, including prescribed fire, mechanical tree removal, and no treatment, for the Northern Basin and Range (NBR), Snake River Plain (SRP), and Central Basin and Range (CBR). Treatment response groups were based on the dominant sagebrush (sage) association, the presence of pinyon-juniper (PJ) expansion and the phase of expansion, and the resilience and resistance category. The map also includes areas of persistent woodland and areas that are not sagebrush associations. The bar graph at upper right shows the proportional area of the TRGs within each ecoregion. The “Big sage, low R&R, no treatment” combines all mountain big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana), basin big sagebrush (A. tridentata ssp. tridentata), Wyoming big sagebrush (A. tridentata ssp. wyomingensis), and Wyoming/basin big sagebrush associations with low resilience and resistance categories
