Buffalo Gap National Grassland drought and grazing study

This video was filmed in March of 2024 and features interviews with two research ecologists, Jacqueline Ott from the Rocky Mountain Research Station (USDA Forest Service), and Amy Symstad (US Geological Survey). In the video, Ott and Symstad share what inspired their research collaboration, the design of their field experiment, and the main nexus behind initiating the research -- to help managers navigate the uncertainty of future climate conditions in grassland ecosystems.
