State 1
Mid/Tallgrass
Submodel
State 2
Oak/Juniper
Submodel
Mechanism
With heavy abusive grazing, no fires, no brush management, and invasion of brush species, the Mid/Tallgrass State would shift to the Oak/Juniper State.
Mechanism
With brush management and crop cultivation, the Mid/Tallgrass State can shift to the Converted Land State.
Mechanism
With the implementation of various conservation practices such as prescribed grazing, brush management, and prescribed burning, the Oak/Juniper State could revert back to the Mid/Tallgrass State.
