AoR 25: Brady Allred & Matt Jones, the Rangeland Analysis Platform (RAP) by Art of Range published on 2019-10-30T21:45:56Z Rangeland vegetation monitoring has always been hampered by landscape variability, site selection bias, and available time to get to remote areas. With the Rangeland Analysis Platform, range managers can get landscape-scale cover values (perennial grass, annuals, shrubs, and trees) over both space and time, with data going back to 1984. Brady Allred and Matt Jones discuss the origins of the RAP, the mechanics of the technology, and applications for land managers.
