ID Assessment of fuel break performance – fire risk, ecology, and economy JFPS 20-2-01-10

Project ID: L20AC00417 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $409,298 Total Funding: $409,298 [project-data-part-2] Abstract:  Problem Statement. Wildfires are increasing in both size and frequency in the Great Basin, threatening valued property and native vegetation that contributes to regional economies, and provide habitat for wildlife including many sagebrush obligate species such as the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). Federal,…


ID Effects of Cattle Grazing on Sage-grouse Habitat & Demographic Traits

Project ID: L20AC00320 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $150,000 Total Funding: $1,700,000 [project-data-part-2] Abstract:  OBJECTIVES We will pursue the following 3 objectives that examine the effects of grazing on sage-grouse. The field work required to address all 3 objectives will be conducted in the same study sites. Document the effects of different cattle grazing regimes on sage-grouse…

CE-QUAL-W2-Modeling: Illinois River

Project ID: G23AC00074 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $33,800 Total Funding: $63,800 [project-data-part-2] Abstract:  The goal of this research project is the development of a water quality and hydrodynamic model for a 16-mile stretch of the Illinois River. This model, CE-QUAL-W2 (Wells, 2022) is a 2-dimensional model of both hydrodynamics and water quality.  The objective of this…


Detecting invasive species using environmental DNA

Project ID: G23AC00532 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $150,000 Total Funding: $150,000 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: The goal of this research project is to develop and validate qPCR assays for invasive species that can be used for early detection. Additionally, to work on isothermal assays that can be used on site by managers to detect invasive species.


Quantifying relationships between remotely sensed riparian and upland wetland areas and stream temperature and flow in the upper Donner and Blitzen River basin

Project ID: G23AC00489 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $55,000 Total Funding: $55,000 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: The goal of this research project is to integrate several scientific disciplines to develop an understanding of linkages among topography, vegetation, hydrology, and water quality. The data and models from this work will be used to quantify spatial heterogeneity of drought resilience and inform…
