Monitoring of Livestock Grazing Effects on Bureau of Land Management Land
Public land management agencies, such as the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), are charged with managing rangelands throughout the western United States for multiple uses, such as livestock grazing and conservation of sensitive species and their habitats.

متن کاملSecond Year Response of Appalachian Mixed Hardwoods to Soil Surface Grading and Herbaceous Ground Cover on Reclaimed Mine Land
Abstract. Recent experience suggests that native Appalachian hardwood trees can be successfully established on coal surface mining sites if appropriate reclamation techniques are used. The Forestry Reclamation Approach (FRA) is a set of mine reclamation techniques developed for that purpose. Questions remain regarding how soil surface grading and choice of herbaceous vegetation affect tree surv...
متن کاملForest to reclaimed mine land use change leads to altered ecosystem structure and function.
The United States' use of coal results in many environmental alterations. In the Appalachian coal belt region, one widespread alteration is conversion of forest to reclaimed mineland. The goal of this study was to quantify the changes to ecosystem structure and function associated with a conversion from forest to reclaimed mine grassland by comparing a small watershed containing a 15-year-old r...
متن کاملThe size of management units for the use of grazing animal in different parts of the West Azarbaijan climatic zones

Ignorance of relationship between the rangeland’s capacity and economic life of the users, puts the rangelands in danger due to the pressure on their resources. That’s why the vastness of rangeland and its stocking rate should be known whereby calculation of r...
متن کاملMontane meadow plant community response to livestock grazing.
We examined long-term (10 years) meadow plant community responses to (1) livestock grazing under riparian grazing utilization limits; (2) suspension of livestock grazing; and (3) meadow site wetness and precipitation on the Inyo National Forest, California. Observed trends in meadow plant species richness, diversity, and frequency of soil stabilizing species were not significantly different bet...
