Fire Fuel Management

Reference Title	Livestock Can Help Rangelands Recover from Fires
Date Published	Sept 2009
Authors	Ann Perry
Summary	A 14-year study by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists in Oregon found that rangelands that have been grazed by cattle recover from fires more effectively than rangelands that have been protected from livestock. These surprising findings could impact management strategies for native plant communities where ecological dynamics are shifting because of climate change, invasive weeds and other challenges.
