The US Geological Survey, Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NOROCK) is offering this grant to support comprehensive research on vegetation distribution and phenology across areas served by NOROCK, the Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperative, and the North Central Climate Science Center, including the Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative study area. This funding is specifically for analyzing spatial and temporal vegetation data, which includes species composition, structure, and phenology derived from both near-surface and remote sensing platforms. Furthermore, the grant will support critical tasks such as maintaining and conducting rigorous quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) on existing databases. It also covers performing essential laboratory analyses of soil samples—covering physical, chemical, and biological properties—as needed, and carrying out crucial field checks to validate model results. This initiative aims to advance ecological understanding within these vital western ecosystems.
