This semester, four TMCC students, Lizzie, Cynthia, Grant, and Ryan, are investigating potential effects of shrub encroachment into Spooner Meadow. Their project involves characterizing current shrub cover of sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) and bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata) and identifying long-term trends of encroachment into the meadow.
We are excited to see what they find as they continue fieldwork and GIS analysis!
