Acknowledgments

 

This work was funded in part by the Idaho Rangeland Resource Commission (IRRC). We greatly appreciate the IRRC's financial support.
 

We would like to express our appreciation to Professor Emeritus M. Hironaka for his work on the shrub steppe ecosystem, which forms the basis of our electronic book. For this edition of our book, substantial portions of the text from his significant publication were directly incorporated. The original publication can be accessed from the reference section.
