Submodel
Mechanism
Heavy abusive grazing, no brush management, and no fires contribute to the shift from the Grassland Hardwood State to the Hardwood Woodland State.
Mechanism
Brush management, pasture planting, range planting, and crop cultivation speeds up the shift from the Grassland Hardwood State to the Converted Land State.
Mechanism
Prescribed grazing, brush management, IPT, range planting, and prescribed burning are various conservation practices to revert back to Grassland Hardwood State from the Hardwood Woodland State.
