Title: Rapid ecoregional assessment of the Northern Basin and Range and Snake River Plain
Description: The purpose of the NGB rapid ecoregional  assessment is to demonstrate and document a  large- (regional-) scale rapid spatial assessment of  potential change in selected resource values as a  result of certain change agents. Specifically, the  focus of the assessment is on the current extent  of sagebrush, juniper, and salt desert shrub;  sagebrush-juniper interface; location of greater  sage-grouse habitat; location of mule deer winter  range; location of large wildfires; and extent  of cheatgrass (and potential for cheatgrass to  expand). The assessment identifies geographicspecific  priority areas in the region and enables  land managers to develop local management  strategies and associated actions designed to  ameliorate impacts from the identified change  agents on the specified resource values.--Page 1.
