What is the concept of Range Management

The planning process based upon 6 concepts:

1. Rangelands are renewable resources; they can produce on a sustained yield basis if properly managed
2. Rangelands supply man with food and fiber at very low energy cost compared to those of cultivated land
3. Energy from the sun can be captured by green plants, which can be harvested most efficiently by grazing animals
4. Rangeland production is determined by soil, topography, and climatic characteristics
5. Rangelands produce a variety of products (I.e. forage, recreation, water) therefore principles of multiple use are important in range management
6. Rangeland must be managed to maintain soil and water quality
