I applied Mark Shepard's Restoration Agriculture Biome model for plant selection to the Great Basin Biome where I live and layered it into the Keyline Scale of Permanence. The Great Basin (BSk and BWk mostly) has many microclimates and diverse biome types so there's several options and opportunities. I made it through KSOP 5. Forestry/Trees. It is a rough cut beta version, so the rest of the KSOP are vaguely outlined at the end of the presie for people to innovate and develop on their own.

It contains fairly extensive species lists for each biome type, provides examples of various landscape positions and potential multi-species plantings that fit into each position.

I hope it is useful for some who live in this challenging climate.

That is a very comprehensive look at the different kind of landscapes in the basin and range area. Good job, Neil! And thanks for making it purchasable with PIE.
