(Texas A&M University, 1993)Not available
-
(Texas A&M University, 2002)Increased distribution and density of brush are widespread phenomena that have led to a decrease in forage production, deterioration of wildlife habitat, and reduction in water supply in many places. The adoption of ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1996)Germination of Ashe juniper seed were compared in a controlled environment at different levels of fruit maturation, lengths of storage, and seed stratification to determine potential germination. Annual mean germination ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1995)Native and domestic herbivores can alter the structure and function of ecosystems. Chronic livestock grazing can cause shifts in species composition and/or life-forms, which may subsequently alter the quality and quantity ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1996)This paper describes the development of RLUM, an integrated spatially explicit, prototypic, ruminant landscape use model. RLUM integrates several component models: weather, plant growth, ruminate nutrition, diet selection ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2002)Water shortages throughout Texas have brought increased attention to the state's water supply. One possible method of increasing water yield in water-poor areas is through brush management. Economic modeling of brush ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2000)An experiment is being conducted at the Waggoner Ranch near Vernon in North Texas to evaluate the responses of the rolling plains to a series of different managements. From this main experiment an offshoot study was ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2003)Extensive studies on runoff from South Texas croplands and urban areas exist; however, little is known of the importance or impact of runoff generated from South Texas rangelands. Therefore, the objectives of this study ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1996)The effect that rock wall terraces have on soil and water conservation and crop production was studied on a steepland farm in southern Honduras during the 1995 growing season. The research compared a site with 10 year old ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2001)Herbaceous production and spatial pattern of vegetation were studied in a mesquite savanna in north Texas using a combination of field investigation and remote sensing techniques. Color infrared imagery was classified for ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2002)This study evaluated the intake of 8 major browse species by Spanish goats (Capra hircus). Diet preference and a selection order was established for the 8 browse species by calculating instantaneous intake rates (IIR, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1998)Not available
-
(Texas A&M University, 1996)The goal of this investigation was to initiate the restoration process of a facsimile prairie. Specific objectives were to evaluate the effects of time, topography/soil, seeding rate, mulch treatments and soil compaction ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1998)Experiments were conducted from April through July of hics. l 998 to assess the cultivation of Halodule beaudettei (den Hartog) den Hartog (shoal-grass) in experimental nursery ponds. The effects of pond flow-regime, water ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2001)The amount and type of vegetation cover on privately owned rangelands in Texas is often a key determinant of how much water flows in streams and springs. In many Texas watersheds more brush on rangeland often means less ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1996)The Gulf Coastal Prairie is one of the most intensively utilized natural region,-in Texas. Agricultural development, urbanization, mining (oil and natural gas) and their infrastructure have served as agents of prairie ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1999)Herbivore tolerance among species differed from the general assumption of greater tolerance in late-seral dominants and varied with defoliation intensity. Tolerance was greatest in two of the three species designated as ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2002)A model of protein and energy balance was created for Odocoileus deer [white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), mule deer (O. hemionus), and black-tailed deer (O. h. columbianus, O. h. sitkensis)] capable of predicting ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1996)Wild species in human populated areas face continuous habitat loss and fragmentation. This study focused on past and present declines of the Goldencheeked Warbler (GCW), a neotropical migrant dependent on a highly specialized ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1996)SciMus americanus is a perennial, rhizomatous herb which occurs in coastal marshes along both Atlantic and Pacific coasts. S-. americanus is an important food source for lesser snow geese ( Chen aerulescens caeruiescens) ...
