Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores advancements in range management within the state of Washington over the period 1901-1905, as this subject became an urgent one regionally owing to serious degradation of the available grazing lands there. The author explains the factors such as climate, vegetation, and dominant grazing animals that affected local grazing conditions and made it difficult to manage the land effectively. They then present recommended practices for improving the land and optimising grazing, including reseeding, fencing, and the concept of using different portions of land alternately. They explain how this is done, and also present supplemental information on the plants of interest in the context of grazing management, including those to be encouraged on the land and those which are undesirable or potentially invasive. This book is an excellent resource for students of ecology, agriculture, and land management as it explains basic principles, demonstrates their application, and includes supplemental details on local flora of the area.
