Toward integrated research, land management, and ecosystem protection in the Malpai Borderlands: Conference summary; 6-8 January 1999; Douglas, AZ

Abstract

Land management based on sound science is key to increased productivity and biological diversity along the U.S./Mexico border in southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico. The USDA Forest Service's Rocky Mountain Research Station and the non-government Malpai Borderlands Group have sponsored studies and resource inventories in the region. A meeting in Douglas, Arizona, was held to inform the scientific, land management, and local communities of progress. These proceedings contain abstracts from the presentations. The reports cover a variety of topics including program overviews, resource inventories, landscape changes, fire and local ecosystems, range restoration, and species ecology and management.
