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 ...
The Use of Land Management Practices to Reclaim Brine-Affected Cropland Soils and Restore Shrub Invaded Rangeland
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Land management techniques can enhance altered ecosystems on a variety of landscapes. In the Williston Basin of North Dakota, brine ponds created 50 years ago still cause problems today. We applied six treatments to reclaim ...
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 ...
Impacts of Invasive Plant Species on the Plant Community in the Northern Great Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Invasive species are encroaching rangelands in the U.S. and altering community composition and plant diversity. In the Northern Great Plains, exotic cool-season perennial grasses (Kentucky bluegrass, Poa pratensis; crested ...
Gamebird Management in Southwestern North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Grassland biodiversity is threatened by habitat loss associated with human expansion. In response, land managers need to collect wildlife data more efficiently and implement management practices that promote wildlife ...
Energy-Related Traffic Increases Fugitive Dust, with Mixed Effects on Bakken Cropland Trophic Levels
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
We investigated how anthropogenic landscape industrialization affects croplands through increased emissions of fugitive dust along unpaved roads with energy-related traffic. We reviewed literature regarding plants and ...
Assessment of Watershed Health on Intermittent Watersheds in Southwestern North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
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 ...
Effect of Livestock Species on Floral Resources and Pollinators in Low-Diversity Grasslands
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Livestock management influences the extent to which grazing lands provide resources for native species. We compared how livestock species – sheep or cattle – affected floral resources and bee and butterfly communities in ...
