The Taylor Grazing Act of 1934, as asking whether a national program focused on developing which provided for management of grazing on public lands, a landscape approach to conservation has scientific merit, also was a response to a landscape-scale threat, overgrazing and if so, whether the LCC program has made use of current, on western rangelands.
