Synopsis :

The approach has involved tempering fundamental topics, such as range plant physiology, range plant ecology, stocking rate considerations, and grazing system selection, with the most recent research. Some traditional range management concepts have been substantially altered as the result of new findings. The text emphasizes range management practices oriented toward multiple use wherever possible.
