Adaptive management strategies are essential to managing livestock on rangelands. In the semi-arid climate of SE Arizona it has become increasingly more important to be as flexible as possible in the management of livestock. Many factors can and do lead to the derailment of a plan for grazing allotments on the forest. Factors may include: drought, fire, invasive species, international border impacts, or a combination of factors. These factors that may change a plan require the agency to make changes to management, monitor the changes and their effects, and follow-up with documentation to support agency actions.
