Tony Svejcar Rangeland Scientist-Research Leader U.S. Department of Agriculture, ARS Rangeland Ecology

Dr. Svejcar is a Rangeland Scientist and Research Leader with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service in Burns, Oregon. He received his BS (1977) in Biology and MS (1979) in Range Science from Colorado State University, and PhD (1983) in Rangeland Resources from Oregon State University. He joined ARS in early 1983, spending 3 1/2 years in El Reno, Oklahoma, and Reno, Nevada, and has been Research Leader at Burns since August of 1990. His current research is focused on plant responses (at both the individual plant and the community level) to both climate and management. Specific research projects involve carbon and nitrogen cycling in the sagebrush steppe, western juniper ecology, prescribed fire, biology of perennial pepperweed, grazing impacts on both upland and riparian vegetation, and meadow management.
