They are usually plants that are abundant, desirable, and representative of the range., Palatability, How desirable or acceptable a plant is a food for grazing animals., Range Use, The way rangeland resources are used, such as grazing by livestock or wildlife., Proper Use, Using rangeland vegetation at a level that allows plants to remain healthy, reproduce, and maintain or improve the condition of the range., Prescribed Grazing, The planned use of livestock or other grazing animals at a specific time, intensity, frequency, and duration to achieve specific management goals while maintaining healthy rangeland., ecosystem, a community of living organisms and the nonliving parts of their environment interacting with each other.
