Building a Framework to Assess Restoration Outcomes for the Department of the Interior’s BIL Ecosystem Restoration Program
Championed by the BIL Ecosystem Restoration Program, the Department of the Interior's bureaus are working to build a framework to assess restoration outcomes, increase the return on ecological restoration investments, and support landscape-level resource management.
Project ROAM
USGS is identifying, testing, and verifying rapid methods for rangeland assessment and restoration monitoring. Our methods complement existing monitoring frameworks, providing land management agencies with timely information that can be used to determine if restoration investments are successful, and why. Standardization, validation, repeatability, data management, and training are at the core of...
