NM Land Office and UNM Sign Research Agreement

 From newschannel10.com -The New Mexico Land Office and the University of New Mexico have signed an agreement that clears the way for sharing information about plant and animal species on state trust lands. The memorandum of understand was signed during a ceremony Monday on the university's campus in Albuquerque. Land Commissioner Ray Powell says the agreement will lead to a better understanding of state trust lands as well as better management practices. For UNM faculty, staff and students, the agreement provides for what officials call a "unique opportunity" to make advances in biology and ecology. Officials say researchers will be able to look at how New Mexico's flora and fauna are responding to changing conditions and how those responses could impact everything from food security and sustainability to invasive species.
