  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="p0005"&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Numerous ecological site descriptions in the southern Utah portion of the Colorado Plateau can be difficult to navigate, so we held a workshop aimed at adding value and functionality to the current ecological site system.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;We created new groups of ecological sites and drafted state-and-transition models for these new groups.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;We were able to distill the current large number of ecological sites in the study area (ca. 150) into eight ecological site groups that capture important variability in ecosystem dynamics.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Several inventory and monitoring programs and landscape scale planning actions will likely benefit from more generalized ecological site group concepts.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
