Recommended Species For Vegetative Stabilization Of Training Lands In Arid And Semi-Arid Environments, United States Department Of Defense, Army Corps Of Engineers

Plants

Maintaining natural resources on western military installations has received increasing attention in recent years. Of special interest are training ranges where the environmental impact of tracked and wheeled vehicles is significant. Revegetation and soil stabilization on the arid and semi-arid regions of these western installations require special techniques. This report identifies key plant species that may be useful to installation land managers seeking to maintain or rehabilitate training land in these areas. The plant species are described in terms of their regional and environmental adaptations, limitations, uses, establishment requirements, and availability. In addition, recommendations for short- and long-term revegetation efforts …


An Autecological Study Of Dyers Woad (Isatis Tinctoria L.) On Utah Rangeland, Ann T. Fuller May 1985

An Autecological Study Of Dyers Woad (Isatis Tinctoria L.) On Utah Rangeland, Ann T. Fuller

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Northern Utah rangelands have become infested with dyers woad (Isatis tinctoria L.) and control is needed. Mechanical and chemical control on rangelands produce undesirable effects. A possible alternative is biological control, but information is not available on plant response to this control method. This autecological study and simulation of control methods examined dyers woad phenology, seed endurance and response to simulated grazing, hand rogueing and plowing. The phenology study documented dyers woad growth patterns from May 1982 to November 1983. During the first year, 65 percent of the seedlings died while the remaining 35 percent grew rosette leaves. During …
