Visually Estimating Residual Dry Matter – A training tool for land managers and ranchers on East Bay Municipal Utility District Mokelumne Watershed Unit

Residual dry matter (RDM) is a standard used by land management agencies for assessing the level of grazing use on annual rangeland and associated savannas and woodlands. RDM is the old herbaceous plant material left standing or on the ground at the beginning of a new growing season. It indicates the combined effects of the previous season’s forage production, breakdown over summer, and its consumption by grazing animals of all types.
