Kansas Great Plains Grassland Initiative: Rancher Driven, Science Informed, Agency Supported
$5.00
Transitioning from productive grassland to woody plant dominance is the greatest threat facing working landscapes in Kansas. Tree and brush encroachment puts pressure on prairie ecosystems by decreasing livestock production, increasing wildfire risk, and hindering biodiversity. New scientific tools, specifically the Rangeland Analysis Platform (RAP), now provide unprecedented opportunities to track woody advancement and develop strategic methods to combat it.
