This dataset was created to monitor the status, condition and trend of national BLM resources in accordance with BLM policies. It focuses on the BLM terrestrial core indicators, which include measures of vegetation and soil condition such as plant species cover and composition, plant height, and soil stability. The BLM terrestrial core indicators and methods were identified through a multi-disciplinary process and are described in BLM Technical Note 440 (https://ia800701.us.archive.org/6/items/blmcoreterrestri00mack/BlmCoreTerrestrialIndicatorsAndMethods_88072539.pdf). The Landscape Monitoring Framework (LMF) dataset was collect using the Natural Resource Conservation Services (NRCS) National Resource Inventory (NRI) methodology which mirrors the data collected by the BLM using the Monitoring Manual for Grassland, Shrubland, and Savannah Ecosystems (2nd edition; https://www.landscapetoolbox.org/methods-manuals/monitoring-manual-2nd-edition/). Specific instructions for data collectors each year the data were collected can be found at https://grazingland.cssm.iastate.edu/. Also see Interpreting Indicators of Rangeland Health (version 5; https://www.landscapetoolbox.org/manuals/iirhv5/).The monitoring locations were selected using spatially balanced, random sampling approaches and thus provide an unbiased representation of land conditions. However, these data should not be used for statistical or spatial inferences without knowledge of how the sample design was drawn or without calculating spatial weights for the points based on the sample design.General DefinitionsNoxious: Noxious status and growth form (forb, shrub, etc.) are designated for each BLM Administrative State using the state noxious list and local botany expertise often after consulting the USDA plants database. Each state’s noxious list can be found in tblStateSpecies Table, where the Noxious field is ‘YES’ and the StateSpecies field has the two letter state code for the desired state (e.g. ‘NM’).Non-Noxious: Non-Noxious status and growth form (forb, shrub, etc.) are designated for each BLM Administrative State using the state noxious list and local botany expertise often after consulting the USDA plants database. Non-Noxious status can be found in tblStateSpecies Table, where the Noxious field is ‘NO’ and the StateSpecies field has the two letter state code for the desired state (e.g. ‘NM’).Sagebrush: Sagebrush species are designated for each BLM Administrative State using local botany expertise. This list can be found for each state in in the tblStateSpecies Table, where SG_Group field is ‘Sagebrush’ and the StateSpecies field has the two letter state code for the desired state (e.g. ‘NM’).Non-Sagebrush Shrub: Non Sagebrush Shrub species are designated for each BLM Administrative State as the plants determined to be shrubs that are not also Sagebrush. This list can be found for each state in in the tblStateSpecies Table, where SG_Group field is ‘NonSagebrushShrub’ and the StateSpecies field has the two letter state code for the desired state (e.g. ‘NM’).Tall Stature Perennial Grass: Tall Stature Perennial Grasses status was determined by Sage Grouse biologist and modified slightly in each state and this list can be found in tblStateSpecies in the SG_Group field where SG_Group field is ‘TallStaturePerennialGrass’ and the StateSpecies field has the two letter state code for the desired state (e.g. ‘NM’).Short Stature Perennial Grass: Short Stature Perennial Grasses status was determined by Sage Grouse biologist and modified slightly in each state and this list can be found in tblStateSpecies in the SG_Group field where SG_Group field is ‘ShortStaturePerennialGrass’ and the StateSpecies field has the two letter state code for the desired state (e.g. ‘NM’).Preferred Forb: Preferred forb for Sage Grouse status was determined for each state by Sage Grouse biologist and other local experts and this list can be found in tblStateSpecies in the SG_Group field where SG_Group field is ‘PreferredForb’ and the StateSpecies field has the two letter state code for the desired state (e.g. ‘NM’).Live: The NRI Methods measure Live vs Dead plant cover – i.e. if a pin drop hits a plant part and that plant part is dead (even if it’s on a living plant) that hit is considered a dead hit. Any occurrence of Live Sagebrush calculations indicates that the measurement is only hits that were live plant parts. If a pin hits both a live and a dead plant part in the same pin drop – that hit is considered live.Growth Habit: The form of a plant, in this dataset the options are Forb, Graminoid, Sedge, Succulent, Shrub, SubShrub, Tree, NonVascular. The most common growth habit for each state was determined by local botany expertise often after consulting the USDA plants database.

Since 2011, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has collected field information to inform land health through its Assessment Inventory and Monitoring (AIM) strategy. To date, more than 6,000 terrestrial AIM field plots have been collected over BLM lands. The BLM AIM data archive is updated annually. Standardized core indicators are collected at each plot that are known to be both ecologically relevant and clearly tied to rangeland health. These indicators inform biotic integrity, soil and site stability, and hydrologic function. The terrestrial plot measurements include fractional bare ground cover, vegetation composition and height, plants of management concern, non-native invasive species, plant canopy gaps, species richness, and soil aggregate stability. AIM represents one of the most extensive publicly available plot measurement datasets across Western US federal lands, which can be integrated with remotely sensed imagery and other geospatial information for a range of analysis, classification, and validation purposes. This dataset was created to monitor the status, condition and trend of national BLM resources in accordance with BLM policies. The methodology used for the collection of these data can be found on the Landscape Toolbox and the Monitoring Manual, 2nd Edition. These data should not be used for statistical or spatial inferences without knowledge of how the sample design was drawn or without calculating spatial weights for the points based on the sample design. This feature class includes monitoring data collected nationally to understand the status, condition, and trend of resources on BLM lands. Data are collected in accordance with the BLM Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring (AIM) Strategy. The AIM Strategy specifies a probabilistic sampling design, standard core indicators and methods, electronic data capture and management, and integration with remote sensing. Attributes include the BLM terrestrial core indicators: bare ground, vegetation composition, plant species of management concern, non-native invasive species, and percent canopy gaps (see Entity/Attribute Section for exact details on attributes). Data were collected and managed by BLM Field Offices, BLM Districts, and/or affiliated field crews with support from the BLM National Operations Center. Data are stored in a centralized database (TerrADat) at the BLM National Operations Center. Data were collected by trained data collectors with the BLM and partner organizations. They followed the BLM core terrestrial data collection protocols. Data were captured electronically using the Database for Inventory, Monitoring, and Assessment. They were managed by the data collectors, with oversight from BLM field offices, state offices, and the National Operations Center. This dataset has undergone rigorous QA/QC to ensure data quality.
