Abstract

The Southern Plains (SP) site of the Long Term Agroecosystem Research (LTAR) network is headquartered at the USDA-ARS Grazinglands Research Laboratory (GRL) in El Reno, Oklahoma. The GRL was established in 1948. A long-term watershed and climate research program was established in the Little Washita River Experimental Watershed (LWREW) in 1961 and in the Fort Cobb Reservoir Experimental Watershed (FCREW) in 2004 (Steiner and others 2014). The GRL mission is to develop technologies, management strategies, and tools to evaluate and manage risks and tradeoffs for integrated crop, forage, and livestock systems under variable climate, energy and market conditions.
