Great Basin LANDFIRE

Webinar brief.

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.

Overview of the Land Treatment Digital Library

Webinar brief.

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.

Landscape science solutions and new fire risk model for resource managers

In this webinar, Jerry Tagestad, Sr. Research Scientist with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, presents an overview of tools to aid rangeland managers in deriving information from the abundant geospatial data available today. Particular emphasis was placed on a recently developed pre-season fire risk model that could be adapted for the Great Basin.

Keeping all the pieces: Management considerations for greater sage-grouse and their habitats in Utah and eastern Nevada in an age of climate change

Webinar recording
This webinar describes tools for using geospatial technologies to focus management in those areas that will most contribute to the conservation of sagebrush communities important to sage-grouse given anticipated landscape changes.

Presented by Chris Balzotti, Stan Kitchen, and Clint McCarthy, and hosted by the USFS Rocky Mountain Research Station.

Verification of sagebrush subspecies from seed samples and finding the right place for successful restoration

In this webinar, Bryce Richardson, Research Geneticist, USFS RMRS, discusses the climatic considerations for sagebrush subspecies and what native plants could potentially fill the void left by sagebrush in the upcoming decades as parts of the Great Basin transition to Mojave desert. He also discusses how understanding the subspecies composition of seed used in restoration could aid in improving restoration outcomes.
