During the late twentieth century, public perception of Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis) [Beetle & A. Young] changed from being a ‘weed’ to a valuable resource in danger of extirpation in some landscapes. The two polar perspectives, perceiving it to be of no value and only competitive with grasses, or perceiving it to be so valuable and scarce that we must never control it, neither serve or benefit land managers or the wildlife that depend on this important habitat. During this period, a focus on rangeland condition has shifted to a focus on ecological thresholds and the information needed to allocate limited financial and other resources to those areas, times, and actions that are most important for maintaining rangeland health.
