Description

As the agency reported it.

Activities
The recipient will (1) develop a scalable and adaptable approach for direct detection of actual l. Cuneata invasion using remote sensing data, (2) identify climatic controls and atmospheric situations conducive to l. Cuneata spread and establishment, and (3) identify habitats vulnerable to l. Cuneata invasion under future climate scenarios using species distribution models (SDM).the success and improvement in decision-making activities will be evaluated based on (1) quantifying total area of our pastures covered by l. Cuneata over time, (2) assessing productivity measures of the prairie (i.e., primary productivity) over time, and (3) savings in expenses because of targeted selective application of herbicide versus non-targeted non-selective application of herbicide.deliverables and expected outcomes: this project will provide actionable information on l. Cuneata invasion status and increase efficiency of l. Cuneata eradication efforts, which would reduce negative ecological impacts and economic losses to landowners. This project will increase regional- and global-scale understanding of grassland ecosystems under various global changes and serve as a showcase demonstrating the effectiveness of integrating remote sensing and climate sciences in combating invasive plants, ultimately benefiting end-users through a more comprehensive and holistic approach.intended beneficiary(IES): the project team has close ties with large and small private landowners in the region, state, as well as tribal officials. To communicate results with end-users, the project team will leverage already-established networks, particularly the prairie project and the oklahoma cooperative extension service. With these outreach efforts, the recipient anticipates that this approach will be more widely accepted among potential end-users and that a larger number of stakeholders, such as ngos, government agencies, ranchers, and conservationists will be willing to use the research products developed here in decision-making activities.
Subrecipient activities
The university of oklahoma will subaward to the oklahoma state university to execute the research objectives of this project.
