Degraded rangelands and riparian woodlands in eastern North Dakota are increasing in frequency. Two studies were conducted to address reduced forage quantity and quality and reduced regeneration of riparian tree and shrub ...
Community Dynamics of Grassland Birds, Rangeland Vegetation, and Black-Tailed Prairie Dogs on Grazed Mixed-Grass Prairie
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Investigators surveyed vegetation and grassland bird communities on and off black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) towns to investigate community drivers, interactions, and species associations. This study was ...
Foraging Ecology of Rangeland Bats
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Land-use and land cover changes impact the distribution of landscape features in rangelands and wildlife use of the landscape. To balance the requirements of wildlife groups that respond differently to landscape features, ...
The Effects of Herbivory and Vegetation Competition on Seedling Survival and Growth in the Middle Sheyenne River Watershed, North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
There is a concern about the lack of regeneration of riparian hardwood forest communities in the Middle Sheyenne River Watershed of northeastern North Dakota. Natural resource managers and landowners are unsure if herbivory ...
Biological Capabilities of Selected Ecological Sites in the Western Dakotas
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
The study was conducted on the Dakota Prairie National Grasslands (DPG) within the Little Missouri National Grassland (LMNG) of North Dakota and Grand River National Grassland (GRNG) of South Dakota during the summer and ...

Watersheds are complex systems that are influenced by many factors including geomorphology, climate, soil, vegetation, and land management. Due to this complexity, a watershed assessment that evaluates both the riparian ...
Novel Ecosystem Management: Evidence for Alternative Strategies in the Northern Great Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis, hereafter bluegrass) invasion in the northern Great Plains is reducing biodiversity and altering ecosystem properties. We cannot remove bluegrass from this system due to the extent of its ...
The Interactions of Early-Fall Prescribed Burning, Different Cutting Techniques and Whitetailed Deer Browsing on Bur Oak Regeneration in Eastern North Dakota: Phase II
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
This study was developed to determine the interaction of white-tailed deer browsing
with effects of clear and selective cutting, and prescribed burning on bur oak (Quercus
macrocarpa) regeneration in northeastern North ...
