Abstract

Abstract Browse, mast, and cover produced by Gambel oak (Quercus gambelii Nutt.) over wide areas in the Southwest contribute substantially to wildlife sustenance. Gambel oak should and can be maintained in multiple-use ponderosa pine forests by management compromises with timber, water, and livestock interests.
