Science - Geography / biomes
English term or phrase: sagebrush
"The major deserts of this type include the sagebrush of Utah, Montana and Great Basin. They also include the Nearctic realm (North America, Newfoundland, Greenland, Russia, Europe and northern Asia)."

Dudo que la traducción correcta sea "Artemisa" (que es una planta) para este caso. Es un tipo de desierto, como por ejemplo la "puna".

Thanks Ignacio. Personally I wouldn't use "artemisal" in Spanish (you'd get away with in English).

Un estudio de 5 años (2002–2006) fue iniciado
posterior a las perturbaciones de pastoreo y fuego en un sitio ecológico de suelo limo- pedregoso en la estepa de artemisa en el norte de Utah, para evaluar la invasión de la escoba de rosita en diferentes comunidades de plantas.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Ya utilicé "desierto de artemisa" y supongo que quedó bien, pero ¿qué opinan de "artemisal"? Ya sé, seguramente estoy inventando una palabra que no existe...
