Rangelands are vast arid landscapes that cover most of western North America and the earth.  This course is designed to introduce students to the science of range management and the major challenges facing rangeland ecosystems. Students will gain an understanding of the ecological basis for rangeland conservation and management relevant to assessment, grazing and other uses, and rangeland improvements.
