Understanding the effects of patch‐burn grazing management on aboveground grassland invertebrate biodiversity

Oikos, EarlyView.
Landscape heterogeneity is widely recognized as a driver of biodiversity, yet its consequences for above‐ground, foliage‐dwelling insect communities under active grassland management remain underexplored. Patch‐burn grazing (PBG), which rotates fire across patches within a grazed landscape, is designed to promote spatial and temporal heterogeneity by ...

Large, rugged and remote: The challenge of wolf–livestock coexistence on federal lands in the American West

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The expansion of grey wolves (Canis lupus) across the western United States, including on public lands used for extensive livestock grazing, requires tools and techniques for reducing wolf–livestock conflict and supporting coexistence. We examined approaches used on forested lands managed by the U.S.

The Effects of Secondary Metabolites of Rangeland and Pasture Plants on the Animal Health in Mediterranean Ecological Conditions

Journal of US-China Medical Science, 2019
Grazed areas including rangelands and pastures cover approximately 51% of the Earth’s continental surface. The plant species which are in these areas which form a wide biodiversity with living and non-living organisims, stand out with both as a forage ...

Drivers of human attitudes towards wolves Canis lupus in Kazakhstan

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Kazakhstan is recognized as a key stronghold for the grey wolf (Canis lupus). Nonetheless, the wolf status and the dynamics of human‐wolf coexistence in the region remain poorly understood. This study aims to fill that gap by exploring current attitudes towards wolves in Kazakhstan and identify the underlying drivers of these attitudes.

Evaluation of rangeland conditions through field survey and NDVI in semi-arid area of Dubluk district Southern Ethiopia

Discover Environment
Rangelands play a crucial role in Ethiopia’s rural economy, ecological biodiversity, and food security. However, their condition at the local level remains inadequately documented, limiting timely responses to degradation.

Study on the Impact of Exclosures on the Physicochemical Properties of Rangeland Soil (Case Study: Northern Golestan Province, Sufikam Rangelands) [PDF]

علوم محیطی
Introduction: Overgrazing can have detrimental effects on the physical properties of soil in rangelands. Among the remedial methods for degraded soils, increasing rangeland fertility and striving to improve soil structure stability, reducing livestock ...

Understanding contingency in wolf‐mediated livestock predation across a mosaic of land uses: An agent‐based modelling approach

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The return of grey wolves to multi‐use landscapes in North America and Europe raises concerns over accompanying risks of livestock predation. While local‐level risk factors have received attention, it is difficult to explore the role that landscape‐scale variables, such as landscape connectivity, play in driving livestock losses.

More pumas (Puma concolor) does not change perceptions: The mismatched response of ranchers to the presence of a top carnivore

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Human‐wildlife conflicts (HWCs) are one of the most critical conservation challenges worldwide. Large carnivores are frequently at the centre of these conflicts because of the perceived and real threats they pose to livestock and human safety.

Beyond our backyard: Unravelling how social‐ecological fit drives the formation of inter‐regional collaborative networks for water governance in the Yellow River Basin

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The societal and biophysical permeability across human‐demarcated jurisdictions within watersheds necessitates collaboration among administrative regions. The effectiveness of such collaboration is partly determined by the degree to which institutional arrangements align with underlying social and ecological interdependencies, a concept ...
