The <strong>Sagebrush</strong> Sea • A Mosaic of Habitats<br />
Terry Rich<br />
Woodlands<br />
In the Intermountain West the extent of woodlands has<br />
increased over the last 150 years, especially woodlands<br />
that include aspen, pinyon, and juniper. This<br />
increase in tree species has caused some plant communities<br />
to shift from shrubs, grasses and forbs with scattered<br />
trees to communities dominated by trees.<br />
Woodland plants such as mountain mahogany may<br />
provide structure for nest sites of Red-tailed and<br />
Ferruginous Hawks and may attract bird species<br />
