Detecting environmental change in eastern Australia: rangeland health in the semi-arid woodlands
Science of the Total Environment, 2003We examined changes in rangeland health in the semi-arid woodlands of eastern Australia at fixed sites between 1989 and 1999. Over the 11-year period there were significant declines in the quality of the vegetation, and changes in plant species were driven largely by seasonality, and to a lesser extent, amount of rainfall.

Ranch Profitability of Improving Soil Health on Rangelands
Rangeland Ecology & Management, 2021Conservation practices can maintain or enhance the quantity of ecosystem services realized by both private individuals and society. However, implementing these practices generally has costs that may exceed the benefit received by a private economic agent, particularly if costs are immediate and benefits accrue in the future.

Indicators of Great Basin rangeland health
Journal of Arid Environments, 2000Early-warning indicators of rangeland health can be used to estimate the functional integrity of a site and may allow sustainable management of desert rangelands. The utility of several vegetation canopy-based indicators of rangeland health at 32 Great Basin rangeland locations was investigated. The indicators were originally developed in rangelands of

A process for selecting indicators for monitoring conditions of rangeland health
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 1995This paper reports on a process for selecting a suite of indicators that, in combination, can be useful in assessing the ecological conditions of rangelands. Conceptual models that depict the structural and functional properties of ecological processes were used to show the linkages between ecological components and their importance in assessing the ...

Assessing and Monitoring the Health of Western Rangeland Watersheds
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2000The most important function of watersheds in the western U.S. is the capacity to retain soil and water, thereby providing stability in hydrologic head and minimizing stream sediment loads. Long-term soil and water retention varies directly with vegetation cover. Data on ground cover and plant species composition were collected from 129 sites in the Rio

Vegetation, Soil, and Animal Indicators of Rangeland Health
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 1998We studied indicators of rangeland health on benchmark sites with long, well documented records of protection from stress by domestic livestock or histories of environmental stress and vegetation change. We measured ecosystem properties (metrics) that were clearly linked to ecosystem processes.

Making soil health a part of rangeland management
Journal of Soil and Water Conservation, 2016S oil health describes the ability of a soil to function at its potential, specifically “the capacity of a soil to function as a vital, living ecosystem that sustains plants, animals, and humans” (USDA NRCS 2014). There is a long history of thoughtful consideration of the soil by philosophers, political leaders, and scientists.

Rangeland health assessment of Theodore Roosevelt National Park
2023We assessed rangeland health at 12 locations distributed across Theodore Roosevelt National Monument (THRO) in June 2022. Assessments were conducted using version 5 of Interpreting Indicators of Rangeland Health (IIRH), a qualitative protocol designed to assess departures from reference condition for three rangeland attributes: Soil and Site Stability,

Using Rangeland Health Assessment to Inform Successional Management
Invasive Plant Science and Management, 2011AbstractRangeland health assessment provides qualitative information on ecosystem attributes. Successional management is a conceptual framework that allows managers to link information gathered in rangeland health assessment to ecological processes that need to be repaired to allow vegetation to change in a favorable direction.
