Desert, desert-steppe (Gobi) zone is the largest province by area (165,000 square kilometres) of Mongolia. The Gobi contains some 560 plant species, in 80 different vegetation associations (Swift, 1991). There are number of results of nutritive value of desert-steppe’s pasture grass. Mongolia’s dry climate means that pasture grasses have less...
Forage samples from Stipa caphillata-Cleistogenes squarrosa communities from the Eastern Mongolian rangelands were analysed for chemical composition and digestibility. Samples were collected at 10-days intervals from 30th June to 10th September.
The study indicated that OM content of Stipa caphillata-Cleistogenes squarrosa communities ranged from 94.4 to 95.2%. The highest value...
Fungi associated with cankers of Russian-olive seedlings at the Montana State Nursery, Missoula, were investigated. Phomopsis elaeagni was most often isolated from and fruiting on cankers. Other associated fungi were Phoma herbarum, P. eupyrena, P. chrysanthemicola, P. exigua, Alternaria alternate, Epicoccum nigrum, and Fusarium moniliforme. Because of its common occurrence...

Streamflow response to rainfall is controlled by the net water budget and the routing of rainfall to stream channels. In rain-dominated forested regions, including the Oregon Coast Range, water budget aspects of forest hydrology are better quantified than water routing. As a result, most of the commonly used forest hydrology...
This document presents information from various land managers and researchers to guide livestock management in riparian areas using their unique responsiveness to accomplish management objectives. Riparian areas, as interfaces between the aquatic and upland components of the ecosystem comprise mosaics of landforms, communities, and environments within the larger landscape. The...
This document is a summary of the analysis of the management situation (AMS) and the subbasin review (SBR) for the Lakeview Resource Management Plan. The AMS/SBR compiles in one place important information about existing resource conditions, uses, and demands, as well as existing management activities and opportunities to resolve issues...
