The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is providing a significant funding opportunity specifically tailored for a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) partner. This grant aims to support crucial research focused on measuring vegetation recovery in the aftermath of wildfires across the Western USA. The insights gained from this research are vital; they will directly inform the optimal timing of various land management applications, ensuring more effective restoration efforts. Furthermore, a key objective of this initiative is to leverage remote sensing imagery to accurately map the presence and spread of nonnative invasive grasses. This comprehensive approach will enhance ecological understanding, facilitate proactive conservation strategies, and contribute significantly to post-wildfire ecosystem health and resilience in affected regions.
