Envision Utah - what the pioneers saw, what we see, and what our children will see |
|
| Lecture Notes (1 MB) No Readings | The vegetation that our pioneer ancestors saw in Utah in the 1850's differs significantly from the plant communities that dominate our state today. In today's lecture, we will talk about the changes that have occurred because of grazing, fire policies, and the large-scale redistribution of water through irrigation. |
