One of the most pragmatic signs of climate change is desertification. Desertification result of reduced ground cover to the point that the soil can no longer hold much moisture. Because nature abhors a vacuum, it will try to maintain cover through shrub species or trees. The overgowth of trees in the area of the Ash Creek fire is a prime example of desertification in practice.
One of the answer to combating desertification, and by extension climate change, is proper livestock grazing and management. While the TED talk below uses South Africa and Mexico as examples, these principle will work just as well in southeastern Montana.
The speaker does an excellent job of explaining the processes involved. Whether you own livestock or not this is a very productive way to spend 7 minutes. It is must see video for those who own livestock. Enjoy!
