Introduction: rangeland woody plant and weed management--past, present, and future / Mechanical practices prior to 1975 / Current state of the art / The future of mechanical treatments for brush management: what is next? / Chemical weed and brush control: where we have been / A paradigm shift -- Rob Mitchell, Steve Whisenant, and Ron Sosebee -- Future of rangeland chemical week and brush control: a Texas range scientist's viewpoint / Timing: the key to successful brush management with herbicides / A historical perspective / Current state of the art / The future of biological management of weeds on rangelands: an entomologist's viewpoint / Biological management of noxious brush: a range scientist's viewpoint / Fire ecology and the progression of prescribed burning for brush management / Prescribed burning: current policies, regulations, and information sources / Effective application of prescribed burning / What's next: the future of fire as a tool for managing brush / Economic and financial considerations / Runoff from rangelands: the role of shrubs / Integrating wildlife concerns into brush management / Conclusion: developing and implementing brush management strategies / Wayne T. Hamilton and Darrell N. Ueckert -- Wayne T. Hamilton and C. Wayne Hanselka -- Harold Wiedemann -- Rory Burroughs, Mike Gibbs, Robert K. Lyons, and Colin McGahey -- Rodney W. Bovey -- Allan McGinty -- Ronald E. Sosebee -- Darrell N. Ueckert -- C. Jack DeLoach and Phil A. Lewis -- David C. Thompson and Kevin T. Gardner -- Charles A. Taylor, Jr. -- C.J. Scifres -- D. Lynn Drawe and Allen Rasmussen -- B. Keith Blair, Jeffrey C. Sparks, and Joe Franklin -- R. James Ansley and Charles A. Taylor -- J. Richard Conner -- Bradford P. Wilcox -- Dale Rollins and Ken Cearley -- Darrell N. Ueckert and Wayne T. Hamilton.
From the futile attempts at eradication to the successes of integrated brush management, practitioners examine mechanical, biological, chemical, and fire-related methods from three perspectives--the past, the present or "state-of-the-art," and the future.
