State-and-Transition Models (STM) describe how an ecological site responds to various treatments and disturbances. STM can be used to select appropriate objectives and treatments for fuels and vegetation management projects. �Disturbance Response Groups (DRG) are a series of ecological sites that respond similarly to disturbance and treatment.� When planning at landscape scales, DRG, in association with STM can help plan treatments and predict their outcomes over larger areas. The BLM, NRCS, and the University of Nevada, Reno have developed STM for much of eastern Nevada.� Examples of planning, implementation and monitoring will be presented showing how to integrate STM and DRG into fuels and habitat management planning.
