Usable Science for Sustainable Rangelands: Conclusions

Abstract

• Producers and users of scientific knowledge working together can identify future research directions that will produce usable science to address the challenges of managing for sustainable rangelands.
• Matching the scale of science to the scale of management and ecological and physical processes was a prominent theme identified.
• Similar activities in other regions with participants from the energy sector, wildlife organizations, and recreation enthusiasts can provide additional research directions for sustainable rangelands.
