The U.S. Geological Survey Southwest Biological Science Center (SBSC) is offering a cooperative agreement to a CESU-affiliated partner. This grant supports research aimed at building a program focused on critical challenges for western land management. Key objectives include enhancing the understanding of how new soil and vegetation mapping products can improve land management decisions and refining land-potential based decision tools, specifically state-and-transition models. Furthermore, the research will deepen insights into how drought and herbivory impact western lands. These efforts address pressing scientific challenges in managing vast western landscapes, particularly in the face of ongoing climate change, drought, wildfires, and evolving land uses.
