Webinar
In this webinar, David Pyke, Plant Ecologist, USGS Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center, discusses setting objectives for resumption of grazing post-fire/rehabilitation activities.
In this webinar, Dr. Gene Schupp, Plant Ecologist, Utah State University, presents patterns of native and exotic understory growth during the first three years following prescribed fire, mechanical, Tebuthiuron, and Imazipic treatments.
In this webinar, Steve Knick, USGS Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center, shares his research on changes within bird communities living in ecotone regions where land management treatments have been conducted to reduce woodland expansion into sagebrush habitats.
In this webinar, April Hulet, Brigham Young University, discusses recent findings from her and Dr. Bruce Roundy’s latest research regarding digital imagery and land cover classifications for assessing rangeland health and fuel loads in Great Basin pinyon and juniper woodlands.
In this webinar, Dr. Bruce Roundy, Rangeland Ecologist, Brigham Young University, shares his latest research findings on the role of tree dominance in understory response to pinyon-juniper fuel control treatments.
In this webinar, Stephen Boyte, Stinger Ghaffarian Technologies, Inc., and Susan Meyer, USFS RMRS Shrub Sciences Lab discuss: 1) Mapping inter-annual cheatgrass production and dieoff in the Great Basin using remote sensing data and ecological models, and 2) If cheatgrass die-offs in the Great Basin provide an opportunity for long-term control?
In this webinar, Richard Miller, Fire Ecologist, Oregon State University, presents a synthesis of information on fire effects on vegetation and soils in the Great Basin including responses and site characteristics. See also the fire effects synthesis.
In this webinar, Jason Williams, Hydrologist, USDA-ARS Northwest Watershed Research Center, presents his latest research findings on hydrologic response to fuels treatments on woodland encroached sagebrush steppe. This research is part of the Sagebrush Steppe Treatment Evaluation Project.
In this webinar, Kori Blankenship, Fire Ecologist, and Louis Provencher, Director of Conservation Ecology with the Nature Conservancy, present 2013 updates and uses for Landscape Fire and Resource Management Planning Tools Program (LANDFIRE) data in the Great Basin. LANDFIRE developed quantitative vegetation models and comprehensive ecological descriptions for all major vegetation systems in the US and a suite of GIS tools that will help fire and resource managers utilize the products effectively.
In this webinar, David Pilliod, Research Ecologist, USGS Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center, presents an overview of the Land Treatment Digital Library (LTDL), which catalogs legacy land treatment information on BLM lands in the western US. The LTDL can be used by managers and scientists for: compiling information for data-calls, producing maps, generating reports, an conducting analyses at varying spatial and temporal scales.
