Rangeland rummy to support adaptive management of rangeland systems

, 2014
To support the development of adaptive management strategies in rangeland-based livestock sys- tems, we developed a game called “Rangeland Rummy”. It is intended to stimulate farmers’ discussion and knowledge exchange around the collective design and evaluation of rangeland-based livestock systems. We present the game and its various components.

Native seed mix functional composition determines native plant recruitment and competition against invasive annual grass Bromus tectorum

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The invasion of the winter annual grass Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) reduces native plant biodiversity and increases wildfire risk in western North America. Seed‐based restoration often fails to increase native plant recruitment in degraded, Cheatgrass‐invaded areas.

Love your wet grass! Dry season grazing reserves show highest grass regrowth in communal semi-arid rangelands of Tanzania.

PLoS ONE
Land management by seasonal migratory herding, traditionally implemented by pastoralists, has allowed semi-arid rangeland ecosystems to remain productive and resilient to highly erratic, seasonal rainfall patterns.

Assessment of Trends of Spatial Land Use Changes using Geographic Information Systems and Landsat Images During the 1991-2016 Period

علوم آب و خاک, 2020
In order to plan and manage the land and its changes, it is necessary to identify and evaluate the factors affecting it. Land use / cover changes are one of the main factors in global environmental change that is defined as a change in the type of land ...

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 ...

Managing forage and ecosystems in the West beyond the West: recounting a century of reference areas and rangeland ecology in British Columbia, Canada

FACETS
The science of rangeland ecology has a long history in British Columbia (BC), first being introduced as a science in the 1930s to address severe overgrazing and loss of forage productivity in grasslands of the province’s southern interior.

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.

Prioritizing Inclusive Practices for Rural Women Smallholder Farmers Participation in Climate Change Adaptation and Ecological Education in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
Rural women smallholder farmers face climate change impacts alongside sociocultural barriers, limited resources, and restricted decision‐making power. A mixed‐methods review and participatory workshops identified 16 adaptation strategies and 13 inclusion practices, highlighting variation in stakeholder priorities. Organizational membership emerged as a
