As Central Appalachia continues its transition away from a coal-based extraction economy, several obstacles continue to slow that process – not the least of which is land access.

Specifically, they found that grazing can be used to decrease the probability and severity of fires. After a fire, strategic grazing can help reduce annual grass invasion and prevent the loss of native grasses and shrubs, as well as reduce fire damage to soil biocrusts.
