Geological Survey

Description

The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to fill critical information gaps in the inventory of vegetation cover and soil factors including carbon relating to the site resistance to wildfire-promoting invasive plants and site recovery after fire in semiarid uplands. This will support the USGS priorities of providing objective, science-based information needed to facilitate the productive use of large landscapes for military and other uses. Exotic grass invasions and the wildfires they promote have been identified as the most significant threat to the security of the vast, semiarid military landscapes in the cold desert range of the Western USA.
