Inventory and long-term monitoring is one of four major science
thrusts for the Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative. This work
comprises four components: (1) Framework and Indicators for Long-Term
Monitoring, which includes developing a framework for landscape-scale,
long-term monitoring and identifying robust indicators for monitoring
landscape conditions; (2) Remote Sensing for Vegetation Inventory and
Monitoring, which entails using multi-scale remote-sensing products
for improving estimates of changes in vegetation characteristics; (3)
Long-Term Monitoring of Soil Geochemistry, which includes sampling and
chemical analysis of soils across the WLCI region to establish a
baseline dataset for long-term monitoring; and (4) Long-Term
Monitoring of Surface Water and Groundwater.
