This proposal will map and measure the rates and timing of conifer      invasion of grasslands at lower timberline elevations along the western         slope of the Madison Range in Montana.  Conifer invasion is a recent            phenomenon related to overgrazing, range deterioration, fire suppression,       and good conifer seed crops in years of above-average precipitation.                    Modelling and understanding the relationships between human land use    and the physical causes of conifer invasion will increase our                   understanding of ecosystem dynamics generally, and human impacts on             vegetational succession in alpine regions more specifically.  The changes       that will be modelled and explained by the investigators have major             implication for species diversity in the region as well as for rangeland        policy and managment.
