In this monthly recorded series, Dr. Matt Reeves, an RMRS Research Ecologist specializing in remote sensing and ecological modeling, analyzes current rangeland fuel conditions across the west, with emphasis on emerging hotspots. Projections are based on Reeves' Fuelcasting system, a component of the Rangeland Production Monitoring Service that provides projections of expected fuel conditions during the grazing season.
