Invasive species, restoration effectiveness, monitoring topics 2/6: 2025 USGS webinar series

The US Geological Survey Land Management Research Program and the Great Basin Fire Science Exchange teamed up to bring you updates in sagebrush, fire, and wildlife related research. On 2/6/2025, USGS researchers, Stephen Boyte and Morgan Roche shared their latest research on cheatgrass and fine fuels, Bryan Tarbox and Erica Christensen shared research on restoration treatment effectiveness, and Cam Aldridge and Cara Applestein shared research on monitoring and predictions to help restoration. Below are the webinar recording and resources associated with each presentation.
