LANDFIRE launched the current BpS Review project to ask for expert assistance in bringing the models and descriptions up-to-date. Of particular interest to individuals working in the Great Basin or in sagebrush habitats across the West is the big sage “Macro Review.” The Macro Review provides an opportunity to look at how. The Intermountain Basin Big Sagebrush Shrubland and Intermountain Basin Big Sagebrush Steppe ecosystems function across their entire range. These systems cover over 90 million acres in the western U.S. and provide critical habitat for the greater sage-grouse. Improving the models helps LANDFIRE more accurately map fire regimes and vegetation departure, and it enables us to provide a more current and robust product for use in land management planning activities.
This webinar, led by LANDFIRE Fire Ecologist Kori Blankenship, will provide an introduction to LANDFIRE BpS models and invite your participation in the current BpS review opportunities. Register
