Restoring Heterogeneity-Based Management To Rangelands For The Benefit Of Grassland Birds And Floral Resources, Cameron Albert Duquette Jan 2021

Restoring Heterogeneity-Based Management To Rangelands For The Benefit Of Grassland Birds And Floral Resources, Cameron Albert Duquette

Range Science

Worldwide grassland loss necessitates careful consideration of management practices occurring on those grasslands that remain. Concerns with overgrazing in the early twentieth century led to overcorrection via uniform, moderate stocking. While these practices reversed some forms of rangeland degradation, they also suppressed variability in vegetation structure that is characteristic of native systems. Reduced heterogeneity resulted in biodiversity declines across many trophic levels. In an effort to restore heterogeneity, we reinstated the historic processes of fire and ungulate grazing. We studied the impacts to grassland birds and floral resources, as the Northern Plains are valuable landscapes for breeding grassland birds and …


Climate Change And Antibiotic Resistance: A Deadly Combination, Jason P Burnham Jan 2021

Climate Change And Antibiotic Resistance: A Deadly Combination, Jason P Burnham

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Climate change is driven primarily by humanity's use of fossil fuels and the resultant greenhouse gases from their combustion. The effects of climate change on human health are myriad and becomingly increasingly severe as the pace of climate change accelerates. One relatively underreported intersection between health and climate change is that of infections, particularly antibiotic-resistant infections. In this perspective review, the aspects of climate change that have already, will, and could possibly impact the proliferation and dissemination of antibiotic resistance are discussed.
