Goals / Objectives
The objective of this cooperative research project is to develop technologies for integrative assessment and monitoring of ecologically important rangeland properties at multiple scales, and develop ecological approaches for describing landscapes and sites.
Project Methods
Collaborative experiments will be designed and implemented at jointly identified sites in the Southwestern United States and Mongolian rangelands. Experiments will be patterned after existing experiments to 1) design assessment and monitoring technologies that level ground based and remotely sensed indicators of ecosystem properties, and 2) deign methods to described ecological sites in a global manner applicable to both U.S. and Mongolian rangelands.

Outputs
Progress Report 4d Progress report. This report documents research conducted under a no-funds agreement between ARS and Research Institute of Animal Husbandry in Ulaan Bantaar, Mongolia. The primary focus of this research is to develop monitoring and assessment tools for rangelands that will be based on similar philosophies applicable to the Western U.S. and Asia. These objectives are described in the report for the parent CRIS, 6235-11210-005-00D, Technologies for Management of Arid Rangelands. The Mongolian partner has extended an invitation to unit scientists for an in-country campaign to develop field research activities in support of this agreement.
