Improving Field-Based Experimental Research to Compliment Contemporary Management

摘要

Improving both communication and collaboration between rangeland managers and researchers are among the objectives of this special issue of Rangelands. The impetus for this series of papers was the article by Briske et al., which questioned the valueof rotational grazing relative to continuous grazing for increasing plant and animal production. Although grazing and grazing systems are the focus, we suggest that the general principles contained in our discussion really should apply to a host of landscape-level issues.
