Vulnerability of different Colorado plateau land types to drivers of change

“We assess management-relevant drivers of change—aridification, livestock grazing, invasive species, surface disturbance, and fire—across a patchwork of land management units and agencies on the Colorado Plateau, focusing on southeastern Utah,

Mapping ecological states in the upper Colorado River basin: implications for fire management

“We aimed to quantify ecological dynamics of two ES groups in the Upper Colorado River Basin from 1986 to 2022 through annual maps of ecological states and assess potential drivers

Mapping predicted ecological states at landscape scales using remote-sensing data and machine learning

“Here, we extend these frameworks to larger landscapes with a machine learning approach that integrates large-scale, high-resolution vegetation data with identified ecological states from a data-driven state-and-transition model developed for

Cost-Effectiveness of Linear Fuel Breaks in Wildfire Management: A Case Study from Southern Idaho

“Linear fuel breaks (LFBs)—strips of land where vegetative fuels are removed or modified—are intended to reduce flame lengths, slow fire spread, and improve access and safety for fire crews.” Read
