CrustCheck: a conceptual framework for interpreting biocrust trait–function relationships in drylands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Biocrusts are increasingly recognized for their contribution to soil stability, hydrology, nutrient cycling, and energy balance in drylands, yet practical field methods for assessing functional roles are limited. Existing approaches typically rely on cover estimates, taxonomic identification, or laboratory analyses, providing ...

Eco-hydrological impacts and socio-economic drivers of rangeland degradation due to overgrazing in semi-arid and arid regions: a review [PDF]

Mesopotamia Journal of Agriculture
Global rangelands have experienced severe degradation over the past three centuries due to anthropogenic and climatic pressures. Rapid population growth, urbanization, and socioeconomic transformations have driven widespread overgrazing, threatening both

Biocrust restoration in novel climates: assisted migration, habitat amelioration, and varied community composition as climate‐smart techniques

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Successful restoration of terrestrial drylands depends on stable, fertile soils that retain water. These functions are provided by biological soil crusts (biocrust), suggesting their reestablishment is a critical step in dryland restoration.

Addressing multiple management goals during roadside restoration: reducing weed invasion and fire risk while enhancing native plants and pollinator habitat in semiarid, invaded grasslands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Roadside vegetation management efforts often target a single desirable outcome; however, we frequently have multiple management goals for restoration. Multiple goals may be achieved concurrently, but the efficacy of roadside revegetation methods is largely unclear, especially when multiple methods are combined.

Gendered Relational Climate Information Services and Kenyan Pastoralist Adaptation

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
Climate Information Services in Kenyan pastoralist communities operate through socio‐technical arrangements shaped by gendered power relations and material infrastructures. Access, interpretation, and use of forecasts depend on legitimacy within communal arenas, gatekeeping through devices and institutions, and translation processes aligned with ...
