The Wildland Solutions Residual Dry Matter (RDM) Photo-Guide was developed to meet the needs of ranchers, technicians and agency personnel who wish to effectively manage RDM levels of California annual grassland range-types. It has been used extensively as a reference aid by individuals teaching range management and water quality short courses within California Annual rangeland vegetation types.

The RDM photo guide is based on the basic principles presented by Hormay in 1942 for the judgment of forage utilization on California annual type rangelands. This new revision incorporates high quality photographs and easy to understand narrative descriptions.

The photo guide is not intended to replace clipping and weighing of RDM; its goal is to increase the effectiveness of monitoring efforts. Although it is designed for field use, the field guide also serves as an important aid when communicating Prescribed Grazing Specifications and management objectives related to RDM needs. As a planning tool, the representative photos and narrative descriptions will assist individuals who need to be on the "same page" when discussing what is expected with various objectives relating to RDM.
