VALUE FOR REHABILITATION OF DISTURBED SITES:

Sagewort wormwood is recommended for restoration work [3,4,5]. It has been successfully outplanted on the Northern Great Plains [3] and on severely disturbed alpine sites in the Beartooth Mountains of Montana [5].

OTHER USES AND VALUES:

No information is available on this subject.

MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS:

An increase of sagewort wormwood may indicate deteriorating rangeland conditions [20]. Sagewort wormwood tends to increase on overgrazed rangelands, especially in years of favorable precipitation [23,32].

Sagewort wormwood litter may indirectly inhibit growth of other herbaceous species. In a greenhouse experiment using plant species native to sand dunes of Lake Huron, Ontario, herbs sown in soil with sagewort wormwood leaf litter showed reduced germination or growth compared to herbs sown in soil without the litter. Allelopathic compounds were apparently not initially present in the sagewort wormwood leaf litter, but were produced by microorganisms that decomposed the leaves [46].
