RangeDocs: a National Grazing land Information System
RangeDocs (https://docs.rangelandsgateway.org) allows NRCS Staff, Extension Professionals and other land managers to search rangeland terms and pinpoint applicable information from key national rangeland resources.
CERT: Integrating satellite and field measures for improved grazing land management at ranch scales
Monitoring of forage availability, utilization, and residual biomass across the growing season is the primary basis for making livestock management decisions in grazing land systems. However, field measures of vegetation are often unreliable at estimating available forage and actual livestock use at the ranch scale due to heterogeneous patterns of vegetation and grazing impacts.
