摘要: Methods and tool are provided for managing rangeland in a consistent, repeatable quantitative manner. A geospatial model of the land is created used to select forage analysis targets routes within land. Then, observation locations determined from targets. Forage area limiting attributes then applied each location, representative extent associated with location. An amount at location measured, inventory calculated based on measured relative spatial Land use policy may be established, grazing, hunting, recreation, other uses.
