The following extensive review of the ecological literature was conducted to review the evidence that cattle grazing can impede the BLM from meeting USGHR.  The vast majority of literature considered in this review comes from studies conducted in the Colorado Plateau and intermountain west, with particular emphasis on lower elevation sites such as those administered by the BLM.  In addition to a review of the general literature, we use southern Utah as a "showcase," not only to highlight specific studies in the region, but also to analyze certain aspects of BLM grazing management in light of both USGHR and the findings of this review.
Articles, citations, reports, websites, and multimedia resources focused on rangeland ecology, management, restoration, and other issues on American rangelands.
