@GrasslandNerd@NMClimate@AgroEcoResil @NMSUGanguli Mostly blue grama (~50%) and sagebrush (~30%). The rest is a mix of galleta and a few cool season grasses (western wheatgrass and needle and thread). Some annual forbs (mostly asters) and snakeweed as well.
Made a visit to some research sites near Cuba, NM recently. Currently suffering from D3/D4 #drought with 4 of the past 5 years below average precipitation. Very limited production this year. Good snowfall this winter would definitely help. @NMClimate@AgroEcoResil @NMSUGanguli
@NMSUGanguli @NMClimate Yikes! Looks like another tough year for that area. This will make it 4 out of the last 5 years of below average precipitation.
@GrasslandNerd@amysmithmuise @NMSUGanguli A close look at the spikelet shows why it got that epithet. Somewhat Aristida-like in appearance. Photo from https://t.co/l7XsUGFJ7h
The LandInfo module, which measures soil color, texture and more, is the core of LandPKS. Learn how to use it to identify your soil by watching our new LandInfo video training, broken down into 5 short parts:

Great opportunity to learn more about careers in Natural Resources. I was one who returned to college to pursue a different career and ended up finding my passion in Range Science.
Shameless plug for careers in Natural Resource Management (especially in Range & Soil Science). Close to 100% placement for people interested in Federal careers. We literally do not have enough students to meet this need. @ANRSNMSU@PES_NMSU
@PhDVoice Hi, I’m Jeremy. I study how humans can change and have changed the potential of lands to produce goods and services we need. (Both good and bad!)
Friday afternoon ice cream is becoming a bit of a habit. Also a gentle reminder to treat myself every so often. Today was an @Oreo Blast from @sonicdrivein#fridayafternoonicecream

When you spend most of the day thinking and writing about the impact of caliche on ecological processes and rangeland health, this is deserved, right? (I think so.)
