An assessment of plant community structure, herbivory, soils, and state-and-transition theory on a winterfat (Krascheninnikovia lanata [Pursh] A.D.J. Meeuse & Smit) ecological site

Creator:

Matney, Casey A.

Abstract:

State-and-transition models (STMs) have been successfully used to describe ecological dynamics in woodlands, shrublands, grasslands, and several other ecosystems. Changes in vegetation and soil are measured to gauge and predict plant community dynamics within ecological states and transitions between alternative ecological states. Ecological states and their boundaries are defined by...

Winterfat seed viability and dormant season livestock grazing

Creator:

Leary, Ryan

Abstract:

Krascheninnikovia lanata (winterfat) is a valuable forage species with an average of 10% crude protein during winter when there are few nutritious options for livestock and wildlife. However, excessive grazing throughout the west has negatively impacted survival of winterfat stands. We hypothesized that four years rest from dormant season livestock...
