Description

Properly managed and healthy rangelands provide many benefits. These include forage for livestock, proper watershed function, habitat and forage for wildlife, nutrient and energy cycling, soil protection and maintenance of biodiversity. When riparian areas are present, management becomes particularly challenging. Riparian areas are those areas along waterbodies where vegetation and soils are strongly influenced by the presence of water. These areas are usually very attractive to livestock and highly sensitive to disturbance. This report examines the results obtained from 2007-2009.
