Description
This table contains monitoring data collected nationally for the BLM Landscape Monitoring Framework. Data are collected in accordance with the BLM AIM (Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring) Strategy. The AIM Strategy specifies a probabilistic sampling design, standard, core indicators and methods, and electronic data capture and management. Attributes (columns) include plant species occurrence information collected using the Plant Census protocol generalized to the county level (see Entity/Attribute section). Species occurrences inform the AIM core indicators of vegetation composition, plant species of management concern, and invasive species. Data were collected and managed through agreements with the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Iowa State University Center for Survey Statistics and Methodology.
Purpose: This dataset was created to monitor the status, condition and trend of national BLM resources in accordance with BLM policies. Specifically, species occurrences inform the BLM AIM core indicators of vegetation composition, plant species of management concern, and invasive species.

Méthodes d'échantillonnage
Data were collected by trained data collectors with the USDA-NRCS and partner organizations. They followed the NRI grazing land on-site data collection protocols (http://www.nrisurvey.org/nrcs/Grazingland/2011/instructions/instruction.htm). Data were captured electronically and managed by the Iowa State University Center for Survey Statistics and Methodology (ISU CSSM). Plant species name corresponding to the plant species code. This is drawn from a 2004 version of the USDA Plants database.
| Etendue de l'étude | Plant species occurrence noted using the Plant Census protocol in the BLM National Landscape Monitoring Framework, generalized to the county level. The plant species observed within the plot as part of the plant census method (Chapter 16). The code corresponds to a code from the USDA PLANTS database. The species list is from a 2004 PLANTS download for sample years 2011-2012; for sample year 2014, the species list is from 2013. |

Description des étapes de la méthode:
- Entities are single occurrences of plant species observed using the Plant Census method as part of the BLM National Landscape Monitoring Framework in 2011-2013. Attributes include states, counties, and species codes from the USDA PLANTS database for each occurrence. Species were obseved at points chosen using a probabilistic sample design across all BLM Lands in the lower 48 US states. For the Plant Census protocol, see the following link from the NRCS and Iowa State University Center for Survey Statistics and Methodology: http://www.nrisurvey.org/nrcs/Grazingland/2011/instructions/R-ch16_09vf.pdf

| Objet | The Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring (AIM) strategy provides a process for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to collect quantitative information on location and abundance, condition, and trend of renewable resources on the nation’s public lands. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) conducted a program evaluation of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) resource protection activities in 2004. They found gaps in the monitoring of resource conditions to support management decisions and that the BLM had no reliable mechanism for reporting on the condition of public lands above the local scale. In response to OMB, the BLM developed a consistent monitoring approach called the Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring (AIM) Strategy for Integrated Renewable Resources Management to standardize indicators and methods that were already commonly used across the BLM. The purpose of AIM is to move the BLM toward an integrated data collection approach that includes three components: 1) a standard set of core indicators and associated methods for terrestrial vegetation and soils as well as aquatic systems 2) a statistically valid sampling framework that allows unbiased inference data sets collected in different areas and for different objectives to be aggregated at different scales (unbiased inferences) 3) integration of remote sensing and ground-based technologies to maximize BLM’s capacity to cost-effectively address management questions at multiple spatial scales. AIM also strives to allow management of data as a corporate asset for multiple uses and improve data accessibility for the field and Washington Office. |
