California scientists developed digital tools to map fire damage in the Mojave National Preserve. These new software programs help park managers focus restoration work on vulnerable desert plants. The tools assist in assessing post-fire conditions and developing recovery plans for affected areas. Scenario modeling directs limited conservation resources to high-elevation climate refugia for Joshua trees. This technology aims to improve the chances of survival for these iconic desert plants.
