Sage-Grouse Habitat Monitoring: Daubenmire Versus Line-Point Intercept
Rangeland (2015)

Abstract
On the Ground
  • Evaluation of range/habitat projects for sage-grouse require careful monitoring to measure their impact.
  • Daubenmire canopy cover and line-point intercept did not yield similar results.
  • As herbaceous canopy cover increased, the differences between the cover estimates increased.
Adoption of both techniques by both groups may be the only feasible solution since institutional constraints limit either group from changing monitoring techniques.
