BLM-Alaska, Assessment, Inventory and Monitoring (AIM) Project

The BLM Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring Strategy (AIM Strategy) is a nationwide effort for integrated, cross-program assessment, inventory, and monitoring of renewable resources (e.g., vegetation, soils, water, air, and wildlife habitat) at multiple scales of management. Further, the Strategy provides a process for the BLM to collect quantitative information on the status, condition, trend, amount, location, and spatial pattern of natural resources on public lands throw out Alaska using a set of core indicators, standardized field methods, remote sensing, and a statistically valid study design.
