    The Secretary may develop and implement a cooperative rangeland 
research program in coordination with the program carried out under the 
Renewable Resources Extension Act of 1978 [16 U.S.C. 1671 et seq.], to 
improve the production and quality of desirable native forages or 
introduced forages which are managed in a similar manner to native 
forages for livestock and wildlife. The program shall include studies 
of: (1) management of rangelands and agricultural land as integrated 
systems for more efficient utilization of crops and waste products in 
the production of food and fiber; (2) methods of managing rangeland 
watersheds to maximize efficient use of water and improve water yield, 
water quality, and water conservation, to protect against onsite and 
offsite damage of rangeland resources from floods, erosion, and other 
detrimental influences, and to remedy unsatisfactory and unstable 
rangeland conditions; (3) revegetation and rehabilitation of rangelands 
including the control of undesirable species of plants; and (4) such 
other matters as the Secretary considers appropriate.
