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.</p> Don Gayton Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Ecosystems and Management 2026-11-13 2026-11-13 26 2 1 16 10.22230/jem.2026v26n2a641
