Management\ndecisions are made across multiple grassland management units that are comprised of at least\nthree vegetation communities: mixed-grass prairie, shortgrass prairie, and shrublands (see Figure 1). Refuge\nstaff require information about grassland condition (current state) for each management unit to prescribe\noptimal management treatments based on existing ecological knowledge about the likely responses of vegetation\ncommunities to particular treatments. There may be barriers to carrying out desired management\nactions due to constraints in staffing, financial resources, infrastructure, the availability of burn crews, etc.\nThere is generally low structural uncertainty; i.e., Refuge staff generally have a solid shared understanding\nof how the grassland community is likely to respond to various management treatments. However, there\nis uncertainty with regards to the current condition or state of each management unit, which will affect\nwhich management treatments are considered optimal. In addition, there is moderate to high environmental\nstochasticity; i.e., natural variation over space and time that is difficult to predict (e.g., spatial and temporal\nvariation in rainfall). Stakeholders who are impacted by refuge management decisions include neighboring\nprivate property owners and members of the public who visit the refuge for wildlife-dependent recreation.\nThe decision maker (i.e., the person who makes most of the management decisions) is the Refuge Project\nLeader or Deputy Project Leader.\n\nThis reference houses the raw data collected on Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge as part of the Rapid Assessment.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://iris.fws.gov/APPS/ServCat/DownloadFile/235712?Reference=157150", "format": "zip", "mediaType": "application/zip", "title": "RapidAssessmentPoints.zip"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/FWS_ServCat_157150", "issued": "2023-01-01T00:00:00Z", "keyword": ["Assessment", "Colorado", "Composition", "General: Biology | Communities and Ecosystems | Grassland/Herbaceous", "General: Management | Monitoring", "Grassland", "Rocky Mountain Arsenal NWR", "Structure", "Vegetation"], "landingPage": "https://iris.fws.gov/APPS/ServCat/Reference/Profile/157150", "modified": "2023-01-01T00:00:00Z", "programCode": ["010:028", "010:094"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "Fish and Wildlife Service"}, "spatial": "-104.90284,39.7985039,-104.790665,39.8706932", "temporal": "2022-01-01/2023-01-01", "theme": ["Generic Dataset"], "title": "Raw Data : Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge : Rapid Assessment"}
