Excerpt from Annotated Bibliography of Publications From the San Joaquin Experimental Range Many problems of the annual-type ranges are related to wise and efficient use of the vegetation. Research projects con-p ducted at the San Joaquin Experimental Range have been and are designed to furnish solutions to these problems. Early range management research at the Experimental Range was directed toward determination of grazing capacity and effects of different intensities and seasons of grazing upon the condition of the range. Erosion and precipitation runoff studies were also conducted during the early years. Nursery and other seeding trials were made with annual and perennial range plants from all over the world. More recently range management re search has centered on range improved by sulfur fertilization. Conversion of brush to grass has been studied. Recommendations have been developed for crushing, burning, and spraying brush to reduce or remove plant competition and allow an increase in de sirable range herbage production. Research involving livestock has been concerned with increasing beef production through larger calf crops, improved nutrition, and reduced losses from poisonous plants, animal diseases, and other factors. This has required many studies throughout the broad field of livestock production. The abundance of wildlife in the area has prompted zo ologists to conduct intensive studies at the Experimental Range. Competition for range forage between rodents and livestock has formed the basis of some work. Various ecological relationships between species of wildlife have formed the basis of other studies. Game species such as the valley quail have been the subject of research efforts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
