Simulation of Vegetation Recovery from Military Disturbances on Fort Bliss

Abstract

This report covers two years of work by the Jornada Experimental Range Department at New Mexico State University and the U.S. Army ERDC/CERL. The overall goal of the project was to enhance the vegetation simulation modeling capabilities of Fort Bliss, Texas, for evaluating the effects of military disturbances on arid land vegetation. The aim of this work was to mechanistically predict shifts from one community type to another by determining primary linkages between community types.
