Description

Holders of grazing leases, grazing licenses and forest reserve permits may apply to co-manage their disposition with another disposition holder. This will enable disposition holders to trial a partnership arrangement before making a decision to finalize a long-term partnership through full or partial assignment. Disposition holders may only have one co-management agreement per disposition. The co-management agreement may include any combination of grazing leases, grazing licenses or forest reserve permits.

Description

In an attempt to evaluate the ecological function of forested rangelands, the forested range health assessment protocol was developed. The protocol measures a number of key vegetation and soil parameters in order to estimate forested range health. Although certain soil parameters are indirectly assessed through measurements of LFH, there is limited knowledge about how these metrics relate to soil ecosystem health and the structure and composition of soil mesofaunal communities. In this study, the relationships between different range health gradients and soil mesofauna were evaluated.
