Sierra Foothill Research and Extension Center

Sierra Foothill Research and Extension Center comprises 5,721 acres of northern Sierra foothill oak woodland--annual grass rangeland that was purchased in 1959 and 1965. Researchers at the Center are involved in several areas of study that further the Center's vision, including management strategies for optimizing sustainable returns from the foothill range system; maintaining watershed health and function; management of riparian zones and wetlands; the role of livestock in ecosystem management; the structure and function of grass-oak woodlands; alternative natural-resource management strategies; development of profitable livestock production systems; and management strategies for restoration of rangelands. Other areas of interest are management to optimize wildlife habitat; and the effects of changing land use on the urban/rural/wildland interface.

There are 10 publications in this collection, published between 1997 and 2004.
