Abstract

Project Purpose-The purpose of this project was to evaluate the effects of environmental factors on overall resistance and resilience of the sagebrush steppe community. Resistance is defined as a system’s ability to avoid change after a disturbance has taken place and resilience is defined as the ability of a system to return to its natural state after a disturbance has taken place.
