Summary:Extract: Biological, mechanical, chemical, and fire brush control measures have unique effects on wildlife habitat that are simultaneously both negative and positive. In passive brush control for wildlife, increased carrying capacity for livestock is the primary motive for brush control; some brush is preserved for wildlife food and cover. In active brush management for wildlife, brush suppression is to improve wildlife habitat. Active management is indicated when brush densities become so great that other components of habitat are absent or inferior. An holistic example of brush management, which considers soil, livestock, wildlife, and esthetic objectives, is presented.
