Range Science Information System (RSIS) - Montana State University Libraries The Range Science Information System bibliography has over 1,400 bibliographic citations to articles and documents focused on rangelands ecology and management. The RSIS bibliography is sponsored by Undaunted Stewardship, Dr. Carl Wambolt MSU Professor of Range Science, MSU Department of Animal & Range Sciences, and the MSU College of Agriculture. This annotated bibliography was created in partnership with Montana StockGrower's Association and Bureau of Land Management's Montana state office, University of Idaho, Dr. Karen Launchbaugh U of Id Associate Professor, and U of Id Department of Rangeland Ecology and Management. https://arc.lib.montana.edu/range-science © 2026.
