Sec. 3332. Program; development, purposes, scope, etc.
The Secretary may develop and implement a cooperative rangeland
research program in coordination with the program carried out under the
Renewable Resources Extension Act of 1978 [16 U.S.C. 1671 et seq.], to
improve the production and quality of desirable native forages or
introduced forages which are managed in a similar manner to native
forages for livestock and wildlife. The program shall include studies
of: (1) management of rangelands and agricultural land as integrated
systems for more efficient utilization of crops and waste products in
the production of food and fiber; (2) methods of managing rangeland
watersheds to maximize efficient use of water and improve water yield,
water quality, and water conservation, to protect against onsite and
offsite damage of rangeland resources from floods, erosion, and other
detrimental influences, and to remedy unsatisfactory and unstable
rangeland conditions; (3) revegetation and rehabilitation of rangelands
including the control of undesirable species of plants; and (4) such
other matters as the Secretary considers appropriate.
