The relationship between temporal and spatial scale of habitat dynamics and effect on sage-grouse

This figure conceptualizes the spatial scale versus the disturbance space for a sage-grouse. It shows the relationship between spatial and temporal scale of habitat dynamics. Small spatial disturbances may not effect sage-grouse due to their relatively large home range. It is a portion of chapter 5: Sagebrush Ecosystems: Dynamics of Primary Sagebrush Habitats in the larger document: Conservation and Assessment of Greater sage-grouse and Sagebrush Habitat.
