ABOUT THE COLLECTIONS
Welcome to the Rangeland Ecology & Management archives. The journal Rangeland Ecology & Management (RE&M; v58, 2005-present) is the successor to the Journal of Range Management (JRM; v. 1-57, 1948-2004.) The archives provide public access, in a "rolling window" agreement with the Society for Range Management, to both titles (JRM and RE&M), from v.1 up to five years from the present year.
The most recent years of RE&M are available through membership in the Society for Range Management (SRM). Membership in SRM is a means to access current information and dialogue on rangeland management.
Your institution may also have access to current issues through library or institutional subscriptions.

Frequency Sampling of Blue Grama RangeA quadrat 2 inches square satisfactorily sampled frequency distribution of blue grama but a complementary quadrat 16 inches square was needed to sample associated species. A tallying technique was developed using beads and plastic tubes.

Dietary Chemical Composition of Cattle and Sheep Grazing in Common on a Dry Annual RangeSignificant differences among animals were found in chemical composition of dietary samples collected with esophageal fistulated cattle and sheep grazing in common on a dry annual range. Diets from sheep and in early summer were higher quality than from cattle or in late summer. Six or fewer animals would suffice to sample most dietary constituents within 10% of the mean with 95% confidence.

Soil Moisture Conditions Under Pastures of Cool-Season and Warm-Season GrassesThe season of active growth and water use by warm-season grasses is about five months, May through September, compared with seven to eight months for cool-season grasses. There was less water in the soil in midspring each year under cool-season than under warm-season grasses. Consequently, the cool-season pastures suffered from midsummer drought more often than did warm-season pastures.

Outdoor Recreation in the Future of Public LandsRange management's goal of increased profits from livestock production should be viewed within a broader context in which the professions dealing with natural resources try to bring about the greatest good for the greatest number of people. Range forage production from public lands can be maintained or increased under a well rounded resource conservation program despite land use restrictions for outdoor recreation.

Effect of Range Condition and Utilization on Nutritive Intake of Sheep on Summer RangesTotal protein, ash, lignin, and other carbohydrates were somewhat higher in forage from poor ranges while ether extract, cellulose, and gross energy were slightly higher in forage from good ranges. The digestibilities of cellulose, other carbohydrates, and gross energy in forage from both good and poor ranges decreased with heavier utilization.

Seeding of Abandoned Croplands in the Central Great PlainsCrested wheatgrass and Russian wildrye were successfully established by late-summer planting in summer-fallowed strips using a double-disc depth-band drill. Crested wheatgrass was also established by spring planting. Blue grama and side-oats grama were not established.

Problems in Artificial and Natural Revegetation of the Arid Shadscale Vegetation Zone of Utah and NevadaVast areas of the arid shadscale zone have been rehabilitated through management, but direct plantings of both native and introduced species usually have failed. Future success will likely be with native plants, including shrubs, adapted to the particular site.
