Rangeland production is a foundational ecosystem service and resource on which livestock, wildlife, and people depend. Capitalizing on recent advancements in the use of remote sensing data across rangelands, we provide estimates of herbaceous rangeland production from 1986 to 2019 at 16-d and annual time steps and 30-m resolution across the western United States. A factorial comparison of this dataset and three national scale datasets is presented, and we highlight a multiple-lines-of-evidence approach when using production estimates in decision making. Herbaceous aboveground biomass at this scale and resolution provides critical information applicable for management and decision making, particularly in the face of annual grass invasion and woody encroachment of rangeland systems. These readily available data remove analytical and technological barriers allowing immediate utilization for monitoring and management.

牧场的生产是牲畜，野生动植物和人类赖以生存的基础生态系统服务和资源。利用最近在牧场上使用遥感数据的进展，我们提供了1986年至2019年美国西部地区16天和每年时间步长和30 m分辨率下草场牧场产量的估算值。给出了该数据集和三个国家规模数据集的阶乘比较，并且当在决策中使用生产估算时，我们着重介绍了多证据线方法。如此规模和分辨率的草本地上生物量提供了适用于管理和决策的重要信息，尤其是面对每年的草入侵和牧场系统的木本入侵的情况。
