Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum): Japanese stiltgrass is an annual grass, found in a range of habitats, from wetlands to early successional fields and forested uplands. Japanese stiltgrass alters light and moisture regimes and likely affects seed germination. The most effective control method is to prevent its spread into natural plant communities by avoiding disturbance to the vegetation and soils of these areas.

Let Rose know! We need to post these other materials so all the field staff can access – they won’t have private access.) How to sign up!

LANDFIRE is Evolving: What to expect in 2021: The LANDFIRE Program is transitioning from bi-annual updates to annual product updates. By summer 2021, LANDFIRE will deliver updated vegetation and fuels spatial data sets reflecting disturbances submitted to the LANDFIRE Program or to national data bases that occurred in the years 2017, 2018 and 2019. Additionally, burn severity information from Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS), Rapid Assessment of Vegetation Condition after Wildfire (RAVG) and Burned Area Reflectance Classification (BARC) will be included for all fires available between 2017-2019 at the time of production. Vegetation type, vegetation cover and vegetation height in areas that were not disturbed 2017 - 2019 will be identical to LF 2016 Remap. Like LF 2016 Remap, surface and canopy fuels data sets will be delivered as “Year Capable” products reflecting regrowth of vegetation and fuels up to the delivery year (2021) for areas identified as disturbed in the 10 years prior to 2021. https://us9.campaign-archive.com/?u=25aeabb346a09aaf1c528f007&id=affd57bb0e
