Threat Assessments on California Rangelands

Ranchers, land managers, conservation organizations, planners, and other decision makers can explore six different scenarios to determine how California rangelands and their ecosystem services might be maintained in light of future threats.

The tool helps ranchers answer the question: “How can we maintain viable ranchlands and their ecosystem services in light of future integrated threats?” The scenarios represent alternative futures of climate, land use, and hydrological change in the foothills around California's Central Valley and most of the southern Inner Coast Range.
