Excerpt from Response of Seeded Ranges to Different Grazing Intensities in the Ponderosa Pine Zone of Colorado Valleys of open grassland parks interspersed among the mountains of the ponderosa pine zone of Colorado are suitable for the production of livestock. Unfortunately, during the late 1800's and early 1900's many of these grassland parks were cultivated and attempts made to raise row [crops or hay. Soil often too infertile to produce adequate yields, short growing season, erratic moisture, and the depressed economic conditions of the 1930's combined to cause many farming ventures to fail. As a result, many cultivated areas were abandoned. On others overgrazing by livestock depleted the native 'cover. Natural recovery through plant succession might take many years to reach a point where good, native forage species are abundant on these lands. Seeding with introduced grasses and legumes, however, can con vert depleted range or abandoned farmlands to productive range quite economically in 2 to 3 years (fig.

The volume on Industrial Crop Breeding will be part of the series, Handbook of Plant Breeding. This volume will focus on the emerging area of plant breeding for sustainable production of transportation fuels and bio based products using the current advances in the field. The book is scheduled to consist of a total number of 30 chapters divided into four sections. The sections will emphasize crops being considered for different challenge areas including oil crops for biodiesel; sugar, starch and cellulosic crops for biofuel; crops for bio products and issues and future prospects. A chapter introducing the first three sections will also be included. Outstanding scientists for each crop species are proposed as senior authors, who may invite co-authors to contribute part of a chapter to provide additional expertise or perspective. The proposed authors will represent various national and international institutions to get a more diverse view on the topic and somehow get a global view on the common issues that researchers on industrial crops are facing. The book will comprise primarily of specific issues, available germplasm, breeding techniques, and potential geographical areas of production pertaining to individual crops being considered for industrial uses. We hope to encourage the proposed authors of new crops to provide an estimate of the crop readiness for commercial development and discuss the limitations. This book will be will be of interest and envisioned to serve as an updated reference to researchers in both academic and industrial setting, to students and teachers of plant breeding and to policy makers who are looking for alternative solutions to dependency on imported petroleum products.
