THRESHOLD RANGELAND CONDITION FOR RANGELAND RESTORATION INVESTMENTS AND THE FINANCIAL EQUIVALENT OF LIVEWEIGHT LOSSES DUE TO RANGELAND DEGRADATION [PDF]

Applied Ecology and Environmental Research, 2019
In this paper, the relations between live weight (LW) gain of the grazing cows and rangeland condition (RC), LW gain and concentrate supplement and LW gain and genetics of the grazing cows were investigated to quantify LW and body condition score (BCS) losses driven by rangeland degradation to estimate the threshold RC over which rangelands can ...

Land cover conversion and land use change combine to reduce grazing

Journal of Land Use Science, 2022
Land cover and land use changes cause global environmental degradation yet changes in cover may have different impacts than changes in use. Here, we examine changes in land cover (rangeland conversion to vineyard) and land use (assocaited grazing loss on

REHABILITATION OF DEGRADED RANGELAND IN NORTHERN IRAQ [PDF]

Mesopotamia Journal of Agriculture, 2005
This study was conducted at Mahalabia region in Ninevah province in Northern Iraq 45 km south west of Mosul city for the three successive seasons 99/2000, 2000/2001 and 2001/2002. The amount of the rainfall is less than 300 mm. This study included two field experiments. First, conducted on rangeland shallow highly gypsum soil (24% gypsum).

Community-based rangeland management in Namibia improves resource governance but not environmental and economic outcomes

Communications Earth & Environment, 2022
A four-year program to support community rangeland management in Namibia led to improved resource governance but had no effect on environmental and economic outcomes, which suggests alternative policies are needed to combat environmental degradation.

Participatory assessment of El Hadra rangeland degradation (Rhamna province)

African and Mediterranean Agricultural Journal - Al Awamia, 2022
The degradation of the El Hadra rangeland was approached by exploring user’s perception and by a technical study which concerned both the vegetation and the substrate. Results show that the users' perception is very rich.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Bridging Cross‐Scale Science–Policy Interfaces for Coherent Land‐Use Governance: Knowledge Co‐Production and Uptake in Kenya's Polycentric System

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land is fundamental to livelihoods and ecosystem health but faces mounting pressure from human activities, climate change, and competing development demands. Science–policy interfaces (SPIs)—platforms that connect experts and policymakers—are vital for co‐producing knowledge to inform coherent, sustainable land‐use governance.

Seasonal drivers of plant–soil–microbial community structure and functions in Western Himalayan grasslands, Pakistan

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Plant species richness was greater in summer in both alpine and subalpine grassland ecosystems. Soil moisture demonstrates significant positive correlations with soil organic carbon and total nitrogen across seasonal periods. Microbial α‐diversity peaks during summer but maintains functional stability across seasons.
