AT: Secret Life of Prairies – HNPAT
April 26, 2017 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
In today’s world, prairie maintenance and establishment seems a bit elusive. Fragmentation, fire suppression, woody species encroachment, and other factors constantly threaten our prairie systems. How do we maintain an system that was and is defined by change? During “The Secret Life of Prairies” we will discuss below and aboveground vegetative dynamics that are the foundation of prairie diversity, productivity, and sustainability. The mechanisms responsible for prairie function, integrity, and stability will be emphasized to create a meaningful understanding of our prairies processes and ecosystem function.
Texas A&M Assistant Professor and Extension Range Specialist Dr. Morgan Russell’s research has been focused on livestock grazing management and prescribed burning in semiarid environments.
