Wildfires increasingly threaten California’s agricultural sector, posing serious risks to farming, ranching, and food systems. We conducted a survey of 505 California farmers ranchers affected by wildfires between 2017 2023. Main findings show that wildfires’ impacts on producers are extensive range from mild catastrophic, with both short long-term repercussions, regardless their exposure level. Producers play central role in community emergency wildfire risk response management reducing...

The proliferation of AI-powered bots and sophisticated fraudsters poses a significant threat to the integrity scientific studies reliant on online surveys across diverse disciplines, including health, social, environmental political sciences. We found substantial decline in usable responses from 75 10% recent years due survey fraud. Monetary incentives attract capable mimicking genuine open-ended verifying information submitted months prior, showcasing advanced capabilities fraud today. This...
Wildfires are increasing in frequency and severity across the Western United States. However, there is limited information available on impacts these fires having livelihood of livestock producers their animals. This work presents results a survey evaluating direct indirect 2020 wildfire season beef cattle, dairy sheep, goat, California, Oregon, Nevada. Seventy completed surveys were collected between May July 2021. While reported no from fires, beef, goat impacted by evacuations pasture...
California's historic, statewide drought (2012-2016) challenged the ability of ranchers to adapt unprecedented conditions while maintaining economic and ecological sustainability their operations. We examined how historic shaped on-ranch impacts management strategies via two separate research efforts: The California Rangeland Decision-Making Survey (2011) semistructured interviews conducted during (2016). average number practices used by increased between 2011 2016; in particular, an...

UC Cooperative Extension and landowners join forces to probe possible causes of mysterious blue oak mortality in the Sierra foothills.
While the direct economic impacts of gray wolves and other predators on rangeland livestock production are relatively easy to measure, indirect (e.g., reduced productivity increased expense) may be more economically significant. We initiated a long-term (10 year), longitudinal survey cattle, sheep goat producers in northern California quantify from wolves, which increasing numbers state, large carnivores production. During winter/spring 2017, we hosted seven producer-researcher workshops...
Abstract California’s 660,000 head of beef cattle are highly dependent on bulls used to produce offspring that can perform across the state’s diverse ecological regions. Bulls need be functional rugged coastal landscapes, rolling foothills, deserts and in high-elevation terrain. Few data exist indicate factors related selection, maintenance longevity rangeland landscapes. Objectives herein, were assess influencing bull purchasing, management, culling decisions California producers. Surveys...
