Restorebot: Towards an Autonomous Robotics Platform for Degraded Rangeland Restoration

Degraded rangelands undergo continual shifts in the appearance and distribution of plant life. The nature of these changes however is subtle: between seasons seedlings sprout up and some flourish while others perish, meanwhile, over multiple seasons they experience fluctuating precipitation volumes and can be grazed by livestock.

Moving transmission centers of embodied forage-livestock conflicts from non-pastoral provinces to pastoral provinces in China

Fundamental Research
Forage-livestock conflict (FLC) causes rangeland degradation and poses a threat to climate change mitigation, food security, and sustainable development. Previous studies have investigated the hotspots of in situ FLCs.

Spectral Discrimination of Common Karoo Shrub and Grass Species Using Spectroscopic Data

Remote Sensing
Rangelands represent about 25% of the Earth’s land surface but are under severe pressure. Rangeland degradation is a gradually increasing global environmental problem, resulting in temporary or permanent loss of ecosystem functions.

Traditional Micropatches, Plant Diversity, and Local Perceptions of Rangeland Degradation in Northeastern Ethiopia

Journal of Landscape Ecology
In East Africa, Ethiopia’s rangelands constitute about 64 % of lowland areas, serving as primary feed resources for pastoral communities. However, these rangelands face severe degradation due to overgrazing, climate variability, human disturbance, and ...
