Fig. 3

Total densities of Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana plants across three treatment types in the third year following treatment (July 2022). “Seeding” treatment plots were seeded at a rate of 0.56 kg PLS (pure live seeds) per ha in October 2019. “Tubeling” and “Wildling” plots each were planted at a rate of 1,111 plants per ha in October 2019. The densities presented here include both surviving plantings and presumed recruitment from those plants and their offspring. Shared letters indicate no significant difference at the 0.05 level. Control plots that received no sagebrush seeding or plantings had a mean density of 200 sagebrush per ha, and were not included in statistical analyses. Dotted lines indicate a range of published target densities for sagebrush (see text for details)
