Soil moisture stability of rangeland is higher than that of woodland and cropland in the Loess Plateau, China

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Soil moisture (SM) affects ecosystem homeostasis through interactions among land use type (LUT), precipitation, heat and human activity (HA). In the core areas of China Loess Plateau, we selected three sites along gradients of annual precipitation and ...

Short-term grazing exclusion impacts using brush packs on soil and grass layers in degraded communal rangelands of semi-arid South Africa and implications for restoration and pasture utilization

Tropical Grasslands-Forrajes Tropicales, 2020
Brush packs from very thorny tree branches were used to simulate grazing exclosures to measure differences in herbaceous vegetation and soil characteristics over 2 years on small ungrazed plots and large continuously grazed communal rangelands on 3 semi ...

Assessing impacts of social-ecological diversity on resilience in a wetland coupled human and natural system

Ecology and Society, 2021
Theory posits that resilience of ecosystems increases when there is a diversity of agents (e.g., species) and linkages between them. If ecosystems are conceptualized as components of coupled human and natural systems, then a corollary would be that novel

Multifunctional Rangeland in Southern Africa: Managing for Production, Conservation, and Resilience with Fire and Grazing

Land, 2013
Residents of Southern Africa depend on rangeland for food, livelihoods, and ecosystem services. Sustainable management of rangeland ecosystems requires attention to interactive effects of fire and grazing in a changing climate. It is essential to compare
