VALUE AND USE
SPECIES: Artemisia papposa | Fuzzy Sagebrush 



WOOD PRODUCTS VALUE : 
NO-ENTRY


IMPORTANCE TO LIVESTOCK AND WILDLIFE : 
Feral horses browse fuzzy sagebrush in spring.  Both deer and domestic
sheep readily consume the flowerstalks in late summer (R. Rosentreter,
pers. comm. 1989).


PALATABILITY : 
Flowerstalks are highly palatable to a variety of livestock and wildlife
species including domestic sheep and deer.  Browse is at least
moderately palatable to feral horses (R. Rosentreter, pers. comm. 1989).


NUTRITIONAL VALUE : 
NO-ENTRY


COVER VALUE : 
Fuzzy sagebrush presumably provides only very limited cover for larger
mammals due to its short stature.  It may, however, provide escape cover
for smaller birds and mammals on some dry, open sites in southern Idaho.
Because it is deciduous, fuzzy sagebrush provides little thermal cover
during winter (R. Rosentreter, pers. comm. 1989).


VALUE FOR REHABILITATION OF DISTURBED SITES :
