Body

Hand separation of live and dead material from clipped plots is tedious and relatively expensive. Live and dead plant materials are easily distinguished under a microscope and can be quickly quantified. After clipping and drying, a sample can be separated in about 10 minutes. This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries. The Journal of Range Management archives are made available by the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
