[ECOLOG-L] Webinar tomorrow- LANDFIRE Biophysical settings review (BpS)

2016-02-17 Thread Autumn Ellison
*Biophysical Settings (BpS) Review in the Pacific Northwest: What is it?
How does it work? Why does it matter?*
Info: All ecosystems are dynamic, changing due to growth, succession and
disturbances. Modeling large landscapes in the United States requires the
collective knowledge of experienced and knowledgeable vegetation and fire
experts. In collaboration with hundreds of colleagues, LANDFIRE produced
more than 1,000 state-and-transitions models and descriptions — one for
every ecosystem (called Biophysical Settings or BpS) mapped by the Program.
The result is a major contribution to basic and applied vegetation ecology
across the country.

*When*: Thursday, February 18th, at 10:00am PST.
