The large area of the sage-steppe ecoregion opens up for varying fire intervals due to topography‚ landscape context including vegetation‚ and fuel continuity (Bunting‚ n.d.). Fire intervals range from decades to centuries‚ with a productive fire regime ranging from 15-25 years (Bunting‚ n.d.; Veblen et al‚ 1999).

water available for vegetation‚ rates of decomposition of organic matter and faunal activity (Hillel‚ 2004). Areas that have high rainfall will have more vegetation biomass which helps with contributing to organic biomass. The water that falls to the ground is soaked up by the soil and some of it is lost through evapotranspiration which helps with the distribution of nutrients. According to (BUOL‚ et al.‚ 2011) the temperature of soil will determine the type and amount of vegetation that grows in the

Because of the Clean Water Act‚ the term wetland means “those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support‚ and that under normal circumstances do support‚ a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions.

As people illegally hunt certain animal species for profit or for the sport of it‚ more and more of these favored animals are becoming extinct‚ animals that are normally prey are increasing in population‚ and more vegetations are being eaten and destroyed.
