Rangeland Condition Assessment Based on Economic Criteria [PDF]

Journal of Landscape Ecology, 2016
The current concept of rangeland condition is faced with many problems that make it difficult for managers to apply. The concept is based on climax theory, which itself has been criticised by many scientists, as it also fails to reflect the real status ...

A scalable big data approach for remotely tracking rangeland conditions

Communications Earth & Environment
Rangelands, covering half of the global land area, are critically degraded by unsustainable use and climate change. Despite their extensive presence, global assessments of rangeland condition and sustainability are limited.

Changes in Rangeland Condition and Health of Palandoken Mountain Rangelands Over two Decades

Turkish Journal of Range and Forage Science, 2021
Rangeland plant communities respond to environmental changes depending on management practices, climate, topography, and time. The objective of the study was to determine the changes in abundancy of functional plant groups, range condition score, class, and health with different topographical characteristics between 1993 and 2013.

Assessment of rangeland condition

Mongolian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2020
There is a substantial gap in the studies on classifications of rangeland condition in the Mongolian context. To fill this gap, this study aimed at assessing the condition and changes of rangeland in the forest-steppe zone in Mongolia with the use of remote sensing technique. The Bornuur soum of Tuv aimag in Mongolia was selected as the study area.

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 ...

Rangeland Health, Condition and Biodiversity in Kırşehir Province

Türk Tarım ve Doğa Bilimleri Dergisi, 2019
Rangeland improvement and management have recently become more important that many new projects have been also initiated and conducted throughout Turkey. There is a great responsible for the provinces in the Central Anatolia Region on those implementation projects.

An Integrative Approach to Rangeland Condition and Capability Assessment [PDF]

Journal of Range Management, 1992
A comprehensive system has been designed to serve as a basis for rangeland condition and grazing capacity assessment. It is important that research information and knowledge be transferred to land managers in the most usable form. An approach has therefore been developed by which different computer technologies are combined to produce a unique and user

New Concepts for Assessment of Rangeland Condition [PDF]

Journal of Range Management, 1995
Range condition score or classification does not tell us, in a general sense, much of what managers and the public want to know about rangelands. Range condition is not a reliable indicator, across all rangelands, of biodiversity, erosion potential, nutrient cycling, value for wildlife species, or productivity.

Monitoring and Mapping rangeland health using remote sensing and GIS methods: A case study in the foothill Artemisia-ephemeral rangeland region in Samarkand [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
This paper describes the use of NDVI analysis to assess the health condition of the rangeland in a specific study area. NDVI values were used to determine the vegetation cover and its condition by dividing the values into different classes based on field
