Rangeland Ecology & Management

We study rangeland ecology to address drought, invasive species, and climate impacts—helping restore and sustain these vital ecosystems worldwide.

Restoring and Sustaining Rangelands

Our researchers study the world’s vast and environmentally critical rangelands, from arid deserts to semi-arid grasslands. Working closely with rangeland managers and communities, our faculty develop science-based strategies to restore degraded lands, enhance ecosystem productivity, and support biodiversity.

Science That Informs Policy 

This research not only ensures that wildlands remain healthy and resilient for future generations but also provides policymakers with the data and guidance needed to protect these landscapes and the many benefits they provide to people and the planet.
