Technical Abstract: This work covers two years of research by the USDA ARS, Jornada Experimental Range and the US Army ERCD/CERL. The overall goal of the project was to enhance the vegetation simulation modeling capabilities of Fort Bliss, Texas for evaluating the effects of military disturbances on aridland vegetation. The aim of this work was to mechanistically predict shifts from one community type to another by determining primary linkages between community types.
