Early Estimates of Exotic Annual Grass (EAG) in the Sagebrush Biome, USA, 2025

The U.S. Geological Survey’s Rangeland Exotic Plant Monitoring System team announces the release of its dataset “Early Estimates of Exotic Annual Grass (EAG) in the Sagebrush Biome, USA, 2025”. This dataset is the seventh weekly public release of early EAG data in 2025. The spatially explicit dataset used satellite imagery up to May 24th, 2025, to provide the first early look at exotic annual grass distribution and abundance across much of the sagebrush biome in the western U.S. The dataset was developed at a 30-meter spatial resolution and is publicly available in the ScienceBase repository. Releases are planned to occur weekly until mid-June.
