Introduction to Range Management (RNG 336) |
|||
|
Taught every Fall semester, this course covers the principles of
rangeland management including rangeland evaluation, rangeland
improvements, plant identification, and contemporary issues facing
rangeland managers. This course serves as a prerequisite for many
upper division range science and natural resource management courses. |

Range Habitat Management (RNG
456/656) Taught during odd Spring semesters, this course presents techniques and strategies for maintaining and improving the structure and function of rangeland ecosystems. Emphasis is placed on objective driven management and will include traditional range improvements, contemporary methods of ecological restoration, multiple use management, and adaptive management. RNG 336 is a prerequisite for this course. |
 |
|
| Grazing Ecology (RNG 458/658) | |||
| Taught during even Spring semesters, this course presents the physiological basis for grazing management. Emphasis is placed on understanding basic plant physiology, plant response to herbivory, nutritional requirements of grazers, and foraging behavior. We will integrate these components of grazing ecology to understand how grazing, as an ecological process, and contemporary grazing management strategies influence plant community response and animal performance. In addition, we will discuss and how grazing management can be used to accomplish specific objectives. RNG 336 is a prerequisite for this course. |
