Grant Description

This agreement is being implemented in order to determine survival enhancement methods for showy Indian clover (Trifolium amoenum) through the study of grazing and fire as disturbance factors. The objective is to build upon the population reintroduction work begun in coordination with Point Reyes National Seashore (PRNS; Marin County, California) in 2006, by investigating the efficacy of various management options which may result in increased survival of reintroduced populations on PRNS lands.
