Detailed Description
This auger is used to collect 1 meter deep soil cores for a carbon budget study associated with the SageSTEP project. SageSTEP is a long-term, multi-disciplinary experiment evaluating sagebrush restoration methods in the Great Basin. SageSTEP team members include scientists from the USGS, USFS, USDA-ARS, Oregon State, Utah State, Brigham Young, and the Univeristies of Idaho, Oregon, and Nevada. Study sites are located in six states: California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washinton.

Quantifying Carbon Storage and Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Sagebrush Rangelands
Management partners have identified a major need to understand the short and long-term consequences of altered wildfire patterns, vegetation change, climate change, and management actions for the carbon cycle. This project aims to quantify carbon storage and greenhouse gas emissions in sagebrush rangelands. Researchers will link findings to the Sagebrush Conservation Design Framework and provide...
