Assessing wildlife habitat suitability for ecological sites and state and transition models

Hibbs, Willow Bo, author, Roath, Roy, advisor, Fernandez-Gimenez, Maria, committee member, Noon, Barry, committee memberColorado State University. Libraries2011

… habitat is an important component of rangeland management plans. Unfortunately, there are few practical tools to assist managers in understanding how management and environmental variation affects habitat suitability. Ecological site descriptions (ESDs) have the potential to fill this role …

Linking ecosystem services with state-and-transition models to evaluate rangeland management decisions

Lohani, SapanaThe University of Arizona.2013

Rangelands are a major type of land found on all continents. Though they comprise around 70% of the world's land area, knowledge of rangelands is limited and immature. Rangelands supply humans with food and fiber at very low energy costs compared to cultivated lands. They are inherently …

Effects of pretreatment tree dominance and conifer removal treatments on plant succession in sagebrush communities

Williams, Rachel EUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2016

… tridentata Nutt.) communities, the expansion and infilling of conifers decreases perennial vegetation cover and density, and lowers ecosystem resilience and resistance of the shrub-grass dominated state. Successional trajectories following disturbance are highly dependent upon residual species …

Trapped? Evidence of changes in relative plant abundance after long-term grazing exclosure across the Tundra.

Snæbjörn Helgi Arnarsson Jack 1996-2025

… link between the relative palatability of plants and ecosystem functions. By changing the relative abundance of certain plant species, prolonged or intense grazing can affect ecosystem processes and lead to land degradation. Management interventions such as grazing exclusion can help an ecosystem …

Ecosystem impacts of tamarisk (Tamarix spp.) management in the Arkansas River watershed, Colorado: effects of disturbance and herbicide residues on passive plant community restoration

Douglass, Cameron Hale, author, Nissen, Scott, advisor, Bauerle, Bill, committee member, Meiman, Paul, committee member, Norton, Andrew, committee memberColorado State University. Libraries2013

… species of woody plants along waterways in arid and semi-arid areas of the western United States. Tamarisk was intentionally introduced over a century ago for ornamental purposes and erosion control projects, but its expansion since has been influenced by altered hydrologic regimes and global …
