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 ...

Does rangeland degradation have implications for global streamflow?
Hydrological Processes, 2007Received 27 June 2007 Accepted 29 June 2007 Rangelands are the most extensive land area of the earth and most occur in dry climates. Collectively, they include the dryland biomes classified as savannas, grasslands, shrublands, and deserts, which constitute about 51% of the earth’s total land area (Asner et al., 2004) and support almost 40% of the ...

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.

Restoring Degraded Rangelands in Northern Kenya Using Buffel Grass
Abstract— This review paper seeks to explore the potential of buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) in the fight against land degradation within arid and semiarid areas of the world, especially Kenya. Soil degradation impacts 1. 5 billion people globally and more than 60% of the Earth’s land surface experience poverty, hunger, and environmental pollution.Francis Onyango OKWATCH, Mamounata BELEM

HUMAN-INDUCED VEGETATION DEGRADATION IN A SEMI-ARID RANGELAND
2017Current assessments of anthropogenic land degradation and its impact on vegetation at regional scales are prone to large uncertainties due to the lack of an objective, transferable, spatially and temporally explicit measure of land degradation. These uncertainties have resulted in contradictory estimates of degradation extent and severity and the role ...
