Range research should include the natural ecosystem as part of the experiemental design much more than it has in the past. We need to study natural ecosystems and compare them with domestic- animal-grazed systems to gain research objectives and detect unintended effects much earlier than without such comparisons. Where natural ecosystem research areas are not available, they should be promptly established because suitable sites continually decline. Fortunately, support for natural area preservation and research is increasing rapidly
