- Abstract:
- ... The manipulation of livestock grazing patterns on rangelands continues to be a major challenge for range managers throughout the western United States. As evidence, Valles Caldera National Preserve where rangeland management is tailored in meeting the needs and expectations of various stakeholders. The preserve was established by the Valles Caldera Preservation Act of 2000 (VCPA) and this act stip ...

- Abstract:
- ... Data from New Mexico range survey maps created shortly after the passage of the Taylor Grazing Act in 1934 have been preserved and are being used to document changes in vegetation. The range survey data were collected at the time of a critical shift in rangeland policy and practice in federal lands of the United States. This paper describes the historical context of the post-Taylor range surveying ...

- Abstract:
- ... In ecosystems that are heavily invaded, it is common for the level of degradation to become so intense that the native plant seedbank is reduced. In these cases, active restoration that includes revegetation efforts and stress manipulations through herbicide use, tillage, periodic flooding, prescribed burning, or timely strategic grazing are often necessary to recover certain ecosystem functions. ...

- Abstract:
- ... On The Ground. The Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP) is a multi-agency effort to quantify the environmental effects of conservation practices and programs and develop the science base for managing the agricultural landscape for environmental quality. The rangeland CEAP review evaluated the scientific literature on seven core NRCS conservation practices: prescribed grazing, prescribed ...

- Abstract:
- ... Projected global increases in ruminant numbers and loss of native grasslands will present a number of challenges for livestock agriculture. Escalated demand for livestock products may stimulate interest in using shrubs on western rangelands. A paradigm shift is needed to change the role of shrubs in rangeland ecosystems. Progress has occurred in identifying mechanisms to increase shrub use, but mo ...

- Abstract:
- ... With expected increases in drought frequency and severity, long-term drought management strategies that focus on cattle selection and natural resource management are essential. The livestock industry in general unintentionally tends to select for cattle that do not perform to their maximum potential in limited-resource environments. We discuss the implications of cattle selection based on characte ...

- Abstract:
- ... •The Art of Range is an educational podcast designed for rangeland practitioners, including ranchers, rangeland professionals, and researchers. Rangeland management is both art and science; the practice of any art depends on mastery of science, a body of knowledge. Rangeland science, as a truly integrative discipline that encompasses soils, plants, animals, people, and economics, invites lifelong ...

- Abstract:
- ... •The measurement of utilization and residual vegetation (stubble height) is a valuable tool in managing livestock disturbance but it is often improperly measured, and results misinterpreted. A common situation for these concerns is when stubble height protocols and rationales used for terrestrial areas are applied to riparian zones and the protection of fish habitat.•Protocols used to assess stubb ...
