An underground index of rangeland degradation: cicadas in arid southern Africa
Oecologia, 1992The prediction that density of long-lived, underground herbivores (Cicadidae) is a function of rangeland condition was examined in arid shrublands in the Karoo, South Africa. It was found that the density of adult cicadas was correlated with cover of deep-rooted, perennial plants.

Hydrologic effects on rangeland degradation and restoration processes
2000Hydrologic attributes which influence ecosystem structure and function include infiltration rate, soil moisture storage capability, precipitation characteristics and rain use efficiency. The degree to which these hydrologic attributes are affected by land use determines the impact of the land use on the ecosystem.

The potential use of biochar in reclaiming degraded rangelands
Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, 2012Many of the world's rangelands are degraded due to either natural or anthropogenic causes. One of the main indicators of the degradation process is the depletion of the organic carbon stocks in the soil. The organic carbon plays a crucial role in supporting the soil microbial community, maintaining the soil structure formation and stability, and ...

Principles of restoration ecology relevant to degraded rangelands.
The Rangeland Journal, 1990The main task of rangeland restoration seems to be one of repair, or reassembly, of damaged landscapes and biota, but in fact, managers and scientists must assemble entirely new communities of plants and animals. The goals of particular restoration projects vary greatly, although they often contain the same set of potentially incompatible qualities ...
