It provides the overall framework for developing random sample locations for all vegetative data collected on BLM lands that uses core indicators and standard methods. Statistical support is required to implement the landscape monitoring project. The Bureau collects landscape monitoring information in coordination with the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) and their Natural Resources Inventory (NRI). Statistical support is needed to design a valid survey, provide quality assurance and control for data and to produce estimates for the indicators from data collected on BLM lands by NRCS.
