- Library Collection RecordFor livestock managers, incorporating flexible stocking strategies with intrinsically high inter- and intra-annual variability in forage production is difficult due to enterprise-level and economic…Publication Date 2016
- Library Collection RecordOil and gas activities, particularly road and drilling pad site construction, impact large acreages of native rangeland across the country. These activities destroy, fragment, and introduce invasive…Publication Date 2016
- Library Collection RecordSagebrush restoration after wildfires has had limited success, and success likely varies considerably by method, site characteristics and interactions between them. Our objective was to compare…Publication Date 2016
- Library Collection RecordPrairie dog occupation of rangelands often poses a difficult problem to land managers. Prairie dogs alter plant communities by consuming and clipping vegetation leading to changes in species…Publication Date 2016
- Library Collection RecordWhite-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) like all mammals, must maintain body temperature. High summer temperatures in South Texas negatively influence the growth of deer, but the magnitude of…Publication Date 2016
