Rangeland Sciences

Rangeland Sciences studies the ecosystems found on large natural or managed grasslands, shrublands, and deserts. It focuses on understanding how these landscapes function, including plant growth, animal interactions, soil health, and water cycles. The goal is to sustainably manage these areas for various uses such as grazing, wildlife habitat, and recreation, while preserving their ecological health. Rangeland Science combines ecology, biology, and resource management to balance human needs with environmental conservation, ensuring these vital landscapes remain productive and resilient for future generations.
