Rangeland Ecology

Rangeland Ecology is the science of the relationships between rangeland plants, animals and their environment. Rangelands across the United States have been studied for many decades, and will continue to be studied for many more. The resulting information is interpreted and applied by the Forest Service in managing the nation's rangelands.
