Abstract

The use of data gained from monitoring vegetation and soil parameters to enhance the ecological and economic efficacy of range livestock enterprises is not a new concept. I have been involved in several applications of rangeland monitoring to enhance the quality of rangeland environments and to preserve range livestock production as a proper and economically effective means of using such environments.
