Rangeland monitoring is a research area focused on assessing the health and condition of rangeland ecosystems, which are large areas of land used for grazing livestock. This research typically involves collecting data on vegetation, soil health, water quality, and wildlife populations to monitor changes over time and inform land management decisions. Rangeland monitoring helps land managers determine the effectiveness of grazing practices, identify areas of concern, and develop strategies for sustainable rangeland management. This research is important for maintaining healthy ecosystems, preserving biodiversity, and supporting the livelihoods of ranchers and other stakeholders who rely on rangeland resources.
