The primary factors affecting this change in sagebrush habitats differ by region and state but include changes in fire regime, conversion to cropland and seeded grasslands,...

The strong horizontal gradients of the kinetic energy spectra in frequency space determined in this study suggest that a regional treatment of the multivariate kinetic energy equation will have to contend with a careful evaluation of boundary flux terms.
