Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data for the North Platte River collected in 2011 by the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) and U.S. Army Corp. of Engineers (USACE). Metadata, extent shapefile, and processed 2m Digital Elevation Model (DEM) are available via the internet at the links attached to this record. For raw LAS files, contact NRCS or USACE. For data specfications, see the original metadata link.

Emerging applications of ecosystem resilience and resistance concepts in sagebrush ecosystems allow managers to better predict and mitigate impacts of wildfire and invasive annual grasses. Soil temperature and moisture strongly influence the kind and amount of vegetation, and consequently, are closely tied to sagebrush ecosystem resilience and resistance (Chambers et al. 2014). Soil taxonomic temperature and moisture regimes can be used as indicators of resilience and resistance at landscape scales to depict environmental gradients in sagebrush ecosystems that range from cold/cool-moist sites to warm-dry sites. We aggregated soil survey spatial and tabular data to facilitate broad-scale analyses of resilience and...
