Whither the Rangeland?: Protection and Conversion in California's Rangeland Ecosystems
PLoS ONE, 2014 Land use change in rangeland ecosystems is pervasive throughout the western United States with widespread ecological, social and economic implications. In California, rangeland habitats have high biodiversity value, provide significant habitat connectivity and form the foundation for a number of ecosystem services.

THRESHOLD RANGELAND CONDITION FOR RANGELAND RESTORATION INVESTMENTS AND THE FINANCIAL EQUIVALENT OF LIVEWEIGHT LOSSES DUE TO RANGELAND DEGRADATION [PDF]
Applied Ecology and Environmental Research, 2019 In this paper, the relations between live weight (LW) gain of the grazing cows and rangeland condition (RC), LW gain and concentrate supplement and LW gain and genetics of the grazing cows were investigated to quantify LW and body condition score (BCS) losses driven by rangeland degradation to estimate the threshold RC over which rangelands can ...

Low Participation and Risk Reduction Potential of Supplemental Crop Insurance in the United States
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Federally subsidized crop insurance is a cornerstone of U.S. farm risk management, yet policies with the greatest share of participation only trigger indemnities after losses exceed 15%. Supplemental insurance was introduced to cover part of this deductible, but participation remains largely unchanged.
