One M.S. position is available to participate in an NSF funded effort to evaluate the use of herd instinct technology for grazing management in the Trans-Pecos region of Texas. The project will compare continuous, rotational, and migratory grazing management to evaluate effects on rangeland health and ecosystem services. This research will apply a systems approach to examining grazing processes and their impacts on rangelands. The student will be responsible for monitoring livestock behavior and performance, executing rangeland surveys, and performing nutritional analyses. Field work will take place on high desert Chihuahuan grasslands in the Trans-Pecos ecoregion near Marfa, TX. The student will be housed in the Department of Natural Resources Management within the Davis College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. The position is available beginning June 2024.
