The Onefour Research Station is located in southern Alberta’s Dry Mixedgrass natural sub-region. The station consists of native grasslands that are dominated by blue grama grass, Needle-and-thread grass, and western wheatgrass. The table below is a list of research publications that have at least one field location at the Onefour Research Station (as well as some that are from the Manyberries area and Antelope Creek Ranch). The table is searchable for specific topics using keywords to narrow the list down (e.g. Willms and long-term grazing). Many of these publications are under copyright and posting links for downloading is not permitted. Specific publications can be requested for individual use by contacting Lisa at rri@ualberta.ca. Please include author(s), year, and title in the email request for electronic pdf copies of publications.
