Rotational Grazing on Rangelands: Reconciliation of Perception and Experimental Evidence
David D. Briske,Justin D. Derner,Joel R. Brown,Samuel D. Fuhlendorf,W.R. Teague,Kris M. Havstad,R. L. Gillen,Andrew Ash,Walter D. Willms +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a synthesis of rotational and continuous grazing on rangelands and conclude that rotational grazing is superior to continuous grazing in terms of ecological effectiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Object-oriented image analysis for mapping shrub encroachment from 1937 to 2003 in southern New Mexico
A. Laliberte,Albert Rango,Kris M. Havstad,Jack F. Paris,Reldon F. Beck,Rob McNeely,Amalia L. Gonzalez +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used image segmentation and object-based classification to monitor vegetation changes over time and found that shrub cover increased from 0.9% in 1937 to 13.1% in 2003 while grass cover declined from 18.5% to 1.9%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cross-scale interactions, nonlinearities, and forecasting catastrophic events.
Debra P. C. Peters,Roger A. Pielke,Brandon T. Bestelmeyer,Craig D. Allen,Stuart H. Munson-McGee,Kris M. Havstad +5 more
TL;DR: This work provides an interdisciplinary, conceptual, and general mathematical framework for understanding and forecasting nonlinear dynamics through time and across space and shows that decisions that minimize the likelihood of catastrophic events must be based on cross-scale interactions, and such decisions will often be counterintuitive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological services to and from rangelands of the United States
Kris M. Havstad,Debra P. C. Peters,Rhonda Skaggs,Joel R. Brown,Brandon T. Bestelmeyer,Ed L. Fredrickson,Jeffrey E. Herrick,John B. Wright +7 more
TL;DR: The use of ecologically-based principles of land management remains at the core of the ability of private land owners and public land managers to provide these existing and emerging services.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and use of state-and-transition models for rangelands
Brandon T. Bestelmeyer,Joel R. Brown,Kris M. Havstad,Robert Alexander,George Chavez,Jeffrey E. Herrick +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown how models can represent and distinguish alternative and complementary hypotheses for transitions, and the importance of clearly delineating ecological sites to produce models is illustrated, as well as how to deal with poorly-delineated sites.
