Rangelands are complex and diverse, but with practical field training, it is possible to consistently evaluate the condition or health of a range site. This workbook describes a visual methodology that allows users to readily see changes in range health and to provide some early warning when management changes are needed. Range health assessment is intended to help users "tune" their eyes to some key indicators of range health.

Description

Native rangelands (forests, shrub lands and meadows) in northern Alberta are important sources of forage for livestock. When properly managed, they can provide ongoing grazing, wildlife habitat, harvestable timber, recreational areas and healthy watersheds. This book describes some of the common northern rangeland plant communities and can be used to: identify the native plant communities on your rangeland; estimate how each community can be grazed; and recognize when a community is overgrazed. This guide can be used in combination with Northern Range Plants and the Rangeland Health Assessment for Grassland, Forest and Tame Pasture Field Workbook.

Description

Rangelands are complex and diverse, but with practical field training, it is possible to consistently evaluate the condition or health of a range site. Traditional range condition assessment sometimes seems complex and cumbersome. This new methodology provides a visual system that allows users to readily see changes in range health and to provide some early warning when management changes are needed. Like the system of riparian health assessment developed by the Cows and Fish Program in Alberta, range health assessment is intended to help users "tune" their eyes to some key indicators of range health.
