Many dryland ecosystems are at risk of transitioning to alternative and less desirable states due to invasion by exotic annual forbs and grasses, expansion of woody species, and altered fire regimes. Incorporating indicators of ecological resilience and resistance to invasive annual grasses (R&R) can be used to prioritize areas for treatment or protection. We use additional input from LANDFIRE products, such as Biophysical Settings (BpS), to inform expected vegetation and degree of departure from reference states within the sagebrush biome. This helps us evaluate the ecological status of diverse ecosystems and determine locally appropriate management strategies.

*If you do not wish to receive future communications from me, please let me know, no hard feelings...
