Description
Summary:In collaboration with a rancher of the Jornada Basin, Charles Turney (Fig. 2), this new facility addressed the big questions of that era: how to minimize livestock losses during drought; how to maximize use of forage species while sustaining them; how to determine the appropriate carrying capacity of arid grasslands; how to manage livestock distribution within a landscape. [...]Jason Karl and colleagues propose an integration of several technologies to make this broad array of information types available to users.
