Understanding Vegetation Podcast Series - Forbs

On this week's installment of the Understanding Vegetation Podcast series we discuss Forbs. Yes, that is right, we nerd out about broadleaf plants for over an hour this week. To understand wildlife, you have to understand the significance of forbs. These are the forgotten plants of wildlife management. We discuss in full detail the role that forbs plan and how they work from annuals to perennials. We even discuss protein content and what Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF) means when evaluating the cellulose/lignin material of vegetation. In addition to food value, we spend a lot of time discussing the value that forbs bring to cover as well. They grow during key times of the year for important life-history events such as nesting, fawning, brood rearing, lactation, antler development, and more!Tune in next week as we discuss the next vegetation class! Hope you enjoyed this week's podcast all about forbs!  Land & Legacy is Powered by Simplecast
