Achieving ecosystem management in the Borderlands of the Southwestern United States through coordinated research/management partnerships

Abstract

This paper provides a brief overview of the Southwestern Borderlands Ecosystem Management Research Project. Much of the research program was described in more detail, along with results thus far, in a conference presented in January 1999. Conference proceedings are documented by Gottfried and others (1999). The focus of the project is research on restoring natural processes, improving the productivity of grasslands and woodlands, providing wildlife habitat, and sustaining an open landscape, viable rural economy, and social structure.
