Quantification of Multi-Use Trail Effects Using a Rangeland Health Monitoring Approach and Google Earth

Natural areas journal, 2018
: Creation and use of multi-use trails are increasing throughout grasslands of North America. While the direct and indirect ecological impacts of multi-use trails are generally understood, their specific impacts on adjacent grassland conservation require

Effects of Deferred Grazing Regime on Rangeland Productivity and Health: A Case Study of Simanjiro District in Northern Tanzania

Rangeland Ecology & Management
Deferred grazing regimes are viewed as a grazing management strategy that can aid in the enhancement of rangeland productivity and health. However, there is limited empirical evidence from drylands of East Africa.

Making soil health a part of rangeland management

Journal of Soil and Water Conservation, 2016
S 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.

Assessing and Monitoring the Health of Western Rangeland Watersheds

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2000
The 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

Are SSURGO organic matter estimates reliable for cold arid steppes? Implications for rangeland soil health

Arid land research and Management (Print), 2019
The SSURGO (Soil Survey Geographic Database)-based Web Soil Survey (WSS) is a geospatial tool for managers to assess soil properties and make management decisions, presumably without field sampling.

A process for selecting indicators for monitoring conditions of rangeland health

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 1995
This 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 ...
