Abstract

Antelopebrush is a component of the shrub steppe ecosystems of British Columbia’s Southern Interior. The shrub is common in parts of the United States but has very limited distribution in BC. BC’s Antelopebrush ecosystems have very high biodiversity and concentrations of at-risk species, but are also host to invasive plant species. The shrub is utilized by a variety of ungulates, rodents, and insects, and it has a complex relationship with fire.
