PL SC221 Lecture Notes - Lecture 13: Rangeland, Myofascial Trigger Point, Water Scarcity
Document Summary
A type of land that is unsuited for continuous cultivation and receives limited management inputs. Forage for free ranging native and domestic herbivores, wood products, The management of rangelands for the perpetual production of goods and services deemed desirable by society in general. The lower the p:e ratio, the drier the environment, meaning that when the ratio is less than one, more water is evaporating than what is being unpinned into the system, leading to water scarcity and a dry environment. The opposite is true for a ratio greater than one. Up to 90% of our growth occurs in the rapid growth phase between june. August 15th: we actually start to lose production through leaf senescence and plant death. If you take more than half you start to have a negative effect on the productivity. It insulates it from temperature increase and moisture loss. The more moist the rangeland is, the higher the diversity.
