Maps of a mean annual temperature, b mean annual precipitation, and c mean proportion of precipitation that is received in summer (June to August) and the mean aboveground biomass of d annual forbs and grasses and e perennial forbs and grasses. Data was aggregated to 1-km resolution and masked to the extent of the sagebrush region (as in Doherty et. al. 2022). Histogram insets present the distribution of values shown on the maps. The means were calculated using climate and vegetation data from 1986 to 2019. Three-year running averages (instead of averages over the entire study period) of these variables were used as predictors in our model
