Can the Carbon Storage Function of a Degraded Mountain Wet Meadow Be Restored?
Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract Sierra Nevada meadows experienced intense livestock grazing in the 19th century, resulting in a shift from deep‐rooted highly productive perennial clonal sedges to short‐lived and shallow‐rooted plants. The current meadow vegetation contains >20% bare ground and <10% cover of highly productive clonal sedges and rushes. We hypothesized that the

, 2013 Rangeland degradation on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau is a growing concern, often attributed to climate change and overgrazing. A minority of researchers have suggested instead that degradation may be caused by changes in land management, particularly ...

Sustainable rangeland grazing in Norse Faroe [PDF]
, 2005 The introduction of domestic livestock - particularly sheep - and rangeland grazing by Norse settlers to Faroe during the 9th century has generally been described as a major pressure on a sensitive landscape, leading to rapid and widespread vegetation ...

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract Land surface models are fundamental for simulating coupled carbon, water and energy exchanges in Earth system models, yet their performance remains poorly constrained across Africa's diverse hydroclimatic gradients. We evaluate the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) using eddy covariance observations from 16 flux towers spanning major

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract Permanent protected areas (PPAs) may be insufficient to protect migratory species, as they are fixed in space and unfeasible in many locations. Dynamic conservation strategies may be necessary to help conserve migratory species. We tested the cost‐effectiveness of temporarily conserved areas (TCAs), a dynamic conservation strategy, to provide ...

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.

Phenological Flexibility in Nesting Grassland Birds Over a Half Century Informs Timing of Management
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.Using > 170,000 nest records from 44 North American grassland bird species, we quantified how temperature, precipitation, and vegetation phenology shape early, peak, and late nesting across broad spatial gradients. Spatial predictions identify geographic variation in breeding phenology that can inform the timing of management actions under changing ...

Degradation processes and the effectiveness of intensive grazing in foothill pastures of Uzbekistan
Frontiers in Sustainable Food SystemsIntroductionFoothill (adyr) rangelands of eastern Uzbekistan serve as a key forage resource for regional livestock systems but are increasingly affected by land degradation driven by grazing pressure and environmental variability.MethodsThis study ...

Emergent Headwater Types for Watershed Monitoring, Research, and Planning
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.Abstract Headwaters—that is headwater streams and the watersheds they drain—strongly influence water quality, ecosystem services, and hydrologic connectivity, yet remain poorly mapped, monitored, and understood at large spatial scales. Using available spatial data to classify headwater “types” could therefore enhance the utility of sparse monitoring ...
