Redente, E F

Our research over the past nine years was directed to study the structural and functional changes occurring within sagebrush-grass ecosystems during secondary succession following disturbance. Accomplishments are divided into two sections. The first, Restoration of Natural Functioning Ecosystems, presents results from long-term experiments dealing with plant community establishment and restoration following disturbance related to energy development. The second section, Ecosystems Development, presents preliminary information from a study initiated in 1984 to address fundamental structural and functional changes that occur during ecosystem development.
