Achievement

Three of the project’s interdisciplinary teams of students and faculty are carrying out their research in Idaho. One of the teams is conducting research to obtain a better understanding of the effects of climate change within the U.S. northern Rockies. A second team is assessing the dynamic processes of social-ecological systems in rangelands ecosystems with a focus on the sagebrush-steppe of Idaho. A third team will pursue research in the Palouse prairie to integrate economic valuation and ecological assessment of grasslands that would help inform stakeholder conservation efforts.
