An overview of the workflow for the soil heating review

Cattle on PBG pastures did better than cattle on no-fire continuous grazing in 2017.

Principal Components Analysis of fire-related weather variables from 2006-2013 (period of complete cases across all variables) show the typical conditions on acceptable days for *several* RAWS in the Grand Forks and Bismarck fire weather regions. In permutational tests accounting for non-independence among stations, region and year did not explain variation. Half-season was a significant factor (P < 0.001, R^2 = 0.50). Differences among half-season weather conditions were strongly associated with fuel temperature (FT), dewpoint (DWP), and daily average air temperature (Tempave). Within half-seasons, variability among typical acceptable fire weather days was mostly associated with relative humidity (RELH), fine fuel moisture (FM), and wind speed (SKNTms).

Livestock GPS data from Hettinger REC and Central Grasslands REC for the first part of the grazing season (through the end of June)

Preliminary spatial analysis of livestock activity in PBG pastures based on June 2018's GPS logger data from the Bob PBG unit at Central Grasslands REC, Streeter, ND.

How many species are in a genus? Frequency of genera by number of species/genus from 43781 entries in the USDA-PLANTS database. Bar just above 100 represents 51 genera with greater than 100 species/genus; the max was Rubus with 443 (although a lot of these might be varietals despite my best attempts to filter those out).
