SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSALS BY FRIDAY, MAY 30TH!
Society for Range Management 2015 International Annual Meeting Call for Symposia, Forums and Workshops Symposia, Forums and Workshop proposals due Friday, May 30th! Submit your proposal at http://rangelands.org/events/ The theme of this year's conference, "Managing Diversity" reflects the diversity of California's rangeland ecosystems as well as the diversity of people and organizations who appreciate and use the state's vast rangelands. Partnering with conservation-minded people and organizations benefits the grasslands, shrublands, woodlands, wetlands, and deserts that cover over 40% of California, and 53% of the western United States. The annual meeting offers the opportunity to share with an international audience through symposia, forums, and workshops, information and skills that help our disciplines, professions, education programs, and public engagement grow. Please consider joining us to discuss and learn about "Managing Diversity." |
Rangeland Ecology & Management Marks 10 Years of Growth & Impact
Rangeland Ecology & Management - The Society for Range Management (SRM) celebrates 10 years of publication of the journal Rangeland Ecology & Management. The journal has accelerated activities to provide information regarding wise stewardship of global rangelands. This involves increased content focused on the complex issues of human-ecological systems, climate change, natural resource policy, and socioeconomics.
As Rangeland Ecology & Management marks this milestone, an editorial within the current issue highlights the major advances and the current status of the Journal. The journal, published by SRM with its co-publishing partner Allen Press, represents a continuation of the Journal of Range Management, which began publication in 1948.
Rangeland Ecology & Management has experienced considerable success in its first decade. The journal's impact factor passed 1.0 in 2008 and has continued to increase to its current value of 1.73. This metric of journal usage is based on the number of citations of journal content per the number of articles published. The current impact factor places Rangeland Ecology & Management near a median ranking among 136 journals in the "ecology" and 210 journals in "environmental sciences" categories.
Full text of the article "REM Publishes Its 10th Volume: An Editorial Report," Rangeland Ecology & Management, Vol. 67, No. 3, May 2014, is now available.

Range Photo Quiz
Successful rangeland operations critically depend upon ample forage and adequate drinking water for livestock and wildlife. While forage production is largely subject to the seeming whims of Mother Nature (though certainly also at the seeming whims - for better or worse - of managers), human ingenuity has developed technologies to get water to places where it had not often before. Inventive infrastructure tends, however, to inevitably weaken and decay with age, and - as shown here - can catastrophically fail when we least expect it; such as in the middle of a hot, high water-demand period.
What cost-effective fix would you suggest to the manager who discovered one morning that this 12,000 gallon storage tank had a rusted-out bottom? (We'll show you the "cowboy fix" employed next time!)
to vtrujillo@rangelands.org, subject line "Range Photo Quiz" or complete the Range Quiz form. Be sure to include a question and answer with the photo!
