Session: Military Land Use and Management: I (ASA, CSSA and SSSA International Annual Meetings (2015))

20 Military Land Use and Management: I

Oral Session

ASA Section: Land Management & Conservation

The U.S. military has manages nearly 25 million acres of land for military training. These lands contain a variety of soil, geological and biological resources representative of North America. Due to their relative age and non-specific use they also contain some of the most diverse ecosystems. The challenge is to manage these public lands in concert with military use and impacts, while maintaining the unique biodiversity and populations. This requires research in soil, microbial, plant and biological communities and system impacts. Research at every level for these ecosystems, e.g. basic/micro, applied/relationships and impacts/systems is appropriate.
