This book explores the palatability of big sagebrush for livestock and deer, focusing on the variation in grazing preference observed across different geographical sources. The author, a plant physiologist, discovered that two-dimensional paper chromatography can effectively classify sagebrush into two main palatability groups based on the presence or absence of specific chemical compounds. These groupings were consistent with field observations of grazing patterns, suggesting that chemical composition plays a role in determining palatability. The book further investigates the genetic diversity within big sagebrush, identifying four subgroups within one subspecies and two subgroups within another, each with distinct chromatographic profiles and corresponding palatability characteristics. The findings provide valuable insights into the complex relationship between chemical composition and palatability in big sagebrush, aiding in the selection and breeding of improved strains for grazing management.
