Especially on a day with dust storms like today in southern #NewMexico, its important to know that vegetation state change controls dust emissions. Grass loss increases dust, and grass #restoration can reduce it.

For those at the Society for Range Management meeting in Spokane, we will be have a short workshop on state-and-transition models/ecological sites in #rangelands , Wednesday February 12 at 1:20PM. Come join us! @TheJornada @NCSS1899

This month, ARS ecologist David Hoover discusses the Long-term Agroecosystem Research Network. This long-term initiative develops tools & practices for resilient, sustainable agriculture. Discover how scientists collaborate for innovative solutions! ➡️ https://t.co/O1FHBMYxZC

I'm excited to announce that I'll be defending my PhD dissertation on #rangeland soil seed banks next week, Tuesday Dec. 3rd! Please reach out via DM if you'd like to join and I'll send you the Zoom link and password! @FCFCMontana @JornadaLTER @TheJornada

A great special issue of @JEnvironQual describing the coordinated "Common Experiment" of the @USLTAR network, that aims to broaden options for building resilient #agroecosystems across the US. https://t.co/2OQr3LYbyj @TheJornada @USDA_ARS

What we’ve learned from applications of virtual fencing and precision ranch technologies for #adaptivegrazing at the Jornada Experimental Range, from our range project manager Lara Macon

Native mammalian herbivores have significant impacts on perennial grasses as shrub cover increases during climate-driven state transition https://t.co/sb78Y1VpqW research from @JornadaLTER @TheJornada @USLTER

Congrats! ARS & partners help steward & improve the Rangeland Analysis Platform https://t.co/WklhCBWlsx. The data in the online tool is a key resource for experts in the sagebrush biome & contributed to 20 papers featured in Rangeland Ecology & Management https://t.co/BYZgDHexiE

🎉ARS's Sheri Spiegal and partners launch collaboration to advance manure management research! "We are delighted to collaborate with industry & science leaders to explore viable pathways for nutrient conservation & recycling across the dairy supply chain.” https://t.co/Ms76r0WiZz

The gap intercept method us to quantify and manage patch connectivity in #rangelands and #drylands, controlling processes such as wind and water erosion, invasive species establishment, and wildlife habitat quality. Learn more here: https://t.co/qb2svMKxFY @TheJornada @USDA_ARS

The Jornada unit collaborates closely with New Mexico State University and hosts the Jornada Basin Long-Term Ecological Research site, Jornada Long-Term Agroecosystem Research site, and the USDA Southwest Climate Hub among many other networks and projects.

This position will integrate multiple disciplines to develop concepts, modeling approaches, and tools that address concerns about sustainability and resilience of landscapes, ecosystem services, and human communities in the face of climate, demographic, and land use changes.

An interdisciplinary #sustainability scientist position is open at the Jornada ( https://t.co/LPifZJ5ojU) to develop systems-level perspectives on alternative agricultural/land use systems of the US Southwest See: https://t.co/hiizyITNFH (closes 11/22/24)

State transitions in #drylands can be reinforced by complex trophic interactions interacting with resource pulses—new paper by Casey Wagnon ⁦@JornadaLTER⁩ ⁦@TheJornada⁩

Thrilled that @jgi will be facilitating this -omics research with @TheJornada team! Exploring dryland soils from Jennie McLaren & Dylan Stover's nutrient addition experiment at @JornadaLTER, including essential collabs w/ @PChuckran, Robin Reibold, @ecology_awesome!

USDA-ARS @TheJornada will soon open a permanent interdisciplinary social-ecological/agricultural systems scientist to research the effects of alternative agroecosystem management strategies. Only US citizens will be eligible. Please DM or email me if you want more information.

Wonderful to see songbird and insect research expand on the Jornada Experimental Range. @TheJornada

Mechanisms of ecological state change driven by drought and wet periods can be detected using Phenocams and satellite imagery, using this approach: https://t.co/LRyBeHJpXw @TheJornada @JornadaLTER

Heritage cattle, precision ranching, and adaptive supply chains are three innovations we study as part of the @theJornada's Long-Term Agroecosystem Network program. https://t.co/gowEk46Tv2 @USLTAR @USDA_ARS @NMSUaes
