Forest and Grassland Research Laboratory
The Forest and Grassland Research Laboratory in Rapid City, South Dakota has a historical legacy that dates from the 1950's.
Research at the laboratory concentrates on problems
identified by the public, resource managers, and the science community from the central and northern Great Plains
region, including the Black Hills.
We are part of the
Grassland, Shrubland and Desert Ecosystems
Program of the Rocky Mountain Research Station.
Our research is primarily concentrated in
-
developing the tools and techniques to evaluate and manage the increasingly
rapid spread of invasive plant species and
-
developing the knowledge and tools for managing and sustaining proper
function of natural and restored ecosystems to provide ecosystem services and wildlife habitat
as described in the
charter for the
Grassland, Shrubland and Desert Ecosystems
Program.
