Rangeland Analysis Platform: Monitor rangelands across the USA

The Rangeland Analysis Platform ( rangelands.app) is a free online application that provides simple and fast access to geospatial vegetation data for U.S. rangelands. The tool was developed to provide landowners, resource managers, conservationists, and scientists access to data that can inform land management planning, decision making, and the evaluation of outcomes. The Rangeland Analysis Platform (RAP) uses innovative cloud computing technology to provide maps and analysis opportunities straight to your desktop, delivered securely and instantaneously.

Data from: Compound hydroclimatic extremes in a semi-arid grassland: Drought, deluge and the carbon cycle

These data were generated to evaluate the effects of compound hydroclimatic extremes – a deluge during drought – on production and carbon cycling in a semi-arid (shortgrass steppe) grassland in Colorado (USA). The study experimentally imposed an extreme drought and then interrupted this drought with either a single extreme deluge event or the equivalent amount of precipitation provided in several smaller events

Patterns of precipitation and productivity on various topographic positions on the Central Plains Experimental Range, Nunn, Colorado

Thirty-six years of aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) data collected across a topographic sequence and daily precipitation data from the semiarid shortgrass steppe of North America to examine patterns and drivers of spatiotemporal variability in ANPP.

Grass-Cast Database - Data on aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP), climate data, NDVI, and cattle weight gain for Western U.S. rangelands

Grass-Cast - the grassland productivity forecast system - uses almost 40 years of historical data on weather and vegetation growth to provide estimates of growing season aboveground net primary production (ANPP). This Database details the data sets that are used for informing the projection model.

Assessing the rate and reversibility of large herbivore effects on community composition in a semi-arid grassland ecosystem with GZTX data on the Central Plains Experimental Range, Nunn, Colorado, USA 1992-2017

Data supporting empirical evaluation of the effects of grazing on semi-arid grassland hypothesized by State-and-Transition models using a 25-year grazing exclosure reversal experiment in the Great Plains, US. We document rapid, reversible and symmetric effects of the imposition and removal of grazing between 1992-2017 due to differences in the rate of increase in cover of C3 midgrasses, litter and bare ground.

Data from: Carbon sequestration and biodiversity co‐benefits of preserving forests in the western United States

Forest carbon sequestration via forest preservation can be a viable climate change mitigation strategy. Here, we identify forests in the western conterminous United States with high potential carbon sequestration and low vulnerability to future drought and fire, as simulated using the Community Land Model and two high carbon emission scenario (RCP 8.5) climate models.
