This BLM Wyoming grant aims to conduct a detailed survey and inventory of Biological Soil Crusts (BSCs) across diverse BLM lands. The study will investigate BSC occurrence on undisturbed, disturbed, grazed, and ungrazed sites. The primary purpose is to generate essential data for informed land and ecosystem management decisions. Additionally, the research will establish a critical baseline of information, enabling the long-term monitoring of changes in BSCs. This monitoring is vital for understanding the impacts of various stressors, including climate change, on these important ecological components. The insights gained will support adaptive management strategies for Wyoming’s federal lands.
