This community focuses on developing and implementing remote-sensing protocols that allow monitoring of spatial projections of continuous cover estimates for sagebrush rangeland habitat components to support affordable, repeated assessment of ecosystems. This work quantifies continuous cover predictions for shrubs, sagebrush, herbaceous vegetation, litter, and bare ground, as well as an estimate of overall shrub height, at multiple spatial scales across several study sites in the western U.S.
