Ratios of identifiable to nonidentifiable fragments were neither equal to one nor equal between grass and forb fragments.This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.The Journal of Range Management archives are made available by the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
