EBIPM Assessment Guidelines has been developed to assist land managers in pinpointing ecological processes not functioning in complex ecosystems. As invasive annual grasses continue to spread, it is clear that "business as usual" on rangelands is not getting the job done (is not solving the weed problem). This guide merges Rangeland Health Assessment together with EBIPM to identify not only the problem but also the cause of the problem, which can more successfully lead to our ultimate goal, fixing the problem.

Grazing Invasive Annual Grasses: The Green and Brown Guide outlines a simple, cost-effective method of managing invasive annual grasses through livestock grazing. The Green and Brown Strategy can help you manage your annual grasses and actually provides some direct benefits in animal production. This method of grazing is simple and can help control annual grasses while allowing perennial grasses to re-occupy the sites and generate more animal production.

Implementing EBIPM: Science-Driven Invasive Plant Management addresses one of the key issues that land managers face: recognizing that when invasive species begin to establish, the weeds themselves are not the actual cause of the problem. The weeds are merely a symptom of the problem, which is, more often than not, an ecological process in disrepair. The science of rangeland management is ecology and just as with any other science, there are principles that govern the science. This video outlines many of those ecological principles so managers can combine their knowledge and experience with ecology to make decisions that have a greater likelihood of success and sustainability.
