Environmental Research Letters, 2019 Discriminating between climate- and human-induced variation in rangeland quality poses a major challenge for developing policy to sustain herder livelihoods and alleviate herder poverty. We contrasted changes in rangeland vegetation cover across a region—

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Although once abundant across its range, gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) are purportedly declining. While range maps indicate that gray fox potentially occur throughout the central United States, contemporary distribution maps are needed. We developed a Habitat Suitability Model for six states, leveraging gray fox presence data in an ensemble ...

Discover EnvironmentRangelands 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.

Estimating total standing herbaceous biomass production with LANDSAT MSS digital data [PDF]
Rangeland biomass data were correlated with spectral vegetation indices, derived from LANDSAT MSS data. LANDSAT data from five range and three other land use sites in Willacv and Cameron Counties were collected on October 17 and December 10, 1975, and on

Spatiotemporal mapping the usable space of free‐roaming equids across the western United States
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.Identification of the inter‐decadal (2010‐2011) enhancement‐degradation gradients in the usable space for wild equid Herd Management Areas in the Great Basin, USA. Abstract Management of feral equids in the American West is hindered by the lack of a formal habitat map and monitoring system.

Effects of 20 years of parceling on the condition of communal rangeland on a Mexican ejido
Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, 2020 This study evaluated the current condition of rangeland on 18 out of 62 plots created in 1993 by parceling the communal rangeland of the El Castañón ejido (Catorce, San Luis Potosí, México).

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Analysing grassland ecological stoichiometry is crucial for evaluating ecosystem quality and health via energy flow and elemental equilibrium. Grazing is a dominant human activity shaping alpine grasslands on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP), yet few studies have used ...

Groundwater–Vegetation Interactions in Rangeland Ecosystems: A Review
WaterWater scarcity is a growing global issue, especially in arid and semi-arid rangelands, primarily due to climate change and population growth. Groundwater is a crucial resource for vegetation in these ecosystems, yet its role in supporting plant life is often not fully understood.

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Changes towards more sustainable livestock production are often evaluated in terms of whether farms abandon environmentally harmful practices. Less attention has been paid to how farms reallocate production across alternative grazing systems and how the composition of production evolves over time.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Our analysis revealed that while climate strongly influenced species distributions, habitat change drove most observed delays in distribution responses. In terms of community ecology, dispersed communities exhibited shorter time lags than concentrated groups. Analyses of lag duration revealed a 5–6‐year distribution lag effect in high‐altitude ungulate
