  <dc:description>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cheatgrass (&lt;i&gt;Bromus tectorum&lt;/i&gt; L.) dramatically changes shrub steppe ecosystems in the Northern Great Basin, United States.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Current-season cheatgrass location and percent cover are difficult to estimate rapidly.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;We explain the development of a near-real-time cheatgrass percent cover dataset and map in the Northern Great Basin for the current year (2015), display the current year’s map, provide analysis of the map, and provide a website link to download the map (as a PDF) and the associated dataset.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The near-real-time cheatgrass percent cover dataset and map were consistent with non-expedited, historical cheatgrass percent cover datasets and maps.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Having cheatgrass maps available mid-summer can help land managers, policy makers, and Geographic Information Systems personnel as they work to protect socially relevant areas such as critical wildlife habitats.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
