Amendments and seeding did not augment erosion control structure effectiveness in dry rangelands
EcosphereRangelands in the Western United States are crucial for providing ecosystem services and supporting rural food systems, but they face increased degradation from erosion.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.The rapid decline of African wildlife populations demands immediate action to mitigate further losses and restore ecosystems. A key factor influencing wildlife distribution is the relationship between the energetic needs of species and the availability of forage, both in terms of quality and quantity.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Our analysis revealed that while climate strongly influenced species distributions, habitat change drove most observed delays in distribution responses. In terms of community ecology, dispersed communities exhibited shorter time lags than concentrated groups. Analyses of lag duration revealed a 5–6‐year distribution lag effect in high‐altitude ungulate

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2013 A community mapping procedure was developed to identify and characterize communal land area used for a traditional goat production system. Participatory cartography indicated that producers have good knowledge of their territory; more than 80% of the ...

Pitfalls and potential of institutional change: Rain-index insurance and the sustainability of rangeland management [PDF]
Rain-index insurance is strongly advocated in many parts of the developing world to help farmers to cope with climatic risk that prevail in (semi-)arid rangelands due to low and highly uncertain rainfall.

Decades of Enclosure Protection Exert Composite Effects on Grassland Grasshopper Communities
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Decades of enclosure protection have altered grasshopper community structure, with species‐specific effects on population dynamics. For the low‐mobility grasshopper Chorthippus fallax, abundance did not differ strongly between exclosure‐protected and overgrazed areas, but its egg development duration was longer in exclosures. The two C.

Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2017 Excessive grazing pressure on rangeland vegetation reduces the basal area value of vegetation and also changes the botanic composition. This study examined the piosphere effects of livestock grazing on rangeland vegetation based on distance from a ...

OPTIMAL STOCKING OF RANGELAND FOR LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION WITHIN A DYNAMIC FRAMEWORK [PDF]
A dynamic model is constructed and utilized to illustrate the interactions of several primary dynamic ecologic and economic relationships that are important in effective rangeland management.
