Estimating total standing herbaceous biomass production with LANDSAT MSS digital data [PDF]

Rangeland biomass data were correlated with spectral vegetation indices, derived from LANDSAT MSS data. LANDSAT data from five range and three other land use sites in Willacv and Cameron Counties were collected on October 17 and December 10, 1975, and on

Assessing Rangeland Conditions and Sustainable Management Strategies in Bamyan, Afghanistan

Journal of Natural Science Review
Identifying effective solutions for rangeland-related challenges has become increasingly complex. Rangelands cover the majority of Bamyan province and serve as a vital source of meat and dairy production. Most farmers in the region are agro-pastoralists who depend heavily on rangelands as their primary asset, while intensive livestock farming systems ...

Accommodating Uncertainty in Rangeland Condition Assessment Using Bayesian Belief Networks

, 2010
Most methods for assessing rangeland condition are deterministic. Stocktake is a local-level monitoring tool that is flexible, adaptive and easy to use by local land users for monitoring and documenting changes in grazing land condition in order to guide and support management responses accordingly.

ON THE CHOICE BETWEEN THE STOCKING RATE AND TIME IN RANGE MANAGEMENT [PDF]

A long standing question in range management concerns the relative importance of the stocking rate versus the length of time during which animals graze a particular rangeland.

An Investment Analysis Approach to Examining Bio-Control of Invasive Weeds [PDF]

Invasive weeds are a large problem on large tracts of rangeland in North America. Biological methods of control have been instituted, but many information gaps remain. An investment model approach is used to demonstrate some of the potentially key pieces

Application of Normalized Radar Backscatter and Hyperspectral Data to Augment Rangeland Vegetation Fractional Classification

Remote Sensing
Rangeland ecosystems in the western United States are vulnerable to climate change, fire, and anthropogenic disturbances, yet classification of rangeland areas remains difficult due to frequently sparse vegetation canopies that increase the influence of ...

Quantification of the effect of lagomorph herbivory on grazing resources in a semiarid rangeland

Ecosphere
Lagomorphs are selective herbivores that can strongly influence rangeland condition if their population densities increase through predator release.
