Grazing intensity's effects on rangeland vegetation

Mongolian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2022
Mongolia is a massive, semi-arid country in central Asia that encompasses 1,500,000 km2, with grasslands making up around 75% of the territory. These grasslands have long supported herders and are important for grazing animals. However, one of the most severely impacted ecosystems in the world is the Mongolian rangeland, and approximately 70% of the ...

Spatial modeling of rangeland potential vegetation environments [PDF]

Journal of Range Management, 2001
Potential vegetation environments (e.g., habitat types, range sites, ecological sites) are important to land managers because they provide a conceptual basis for the description of resource potentials and ecological integrity. Efficient use of potential vegetation classifications in regional or subregional scale assessments of ecosystem health has been

Vegetation dynamics on rangelands: a critique of the current paradigms [PDF]

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2003
Summary Rangeland ecologists have been debating the validity of two current paradigms for the evaluation of vegetation dynamics on rangelands. This debate frequently contrasts the conventional model of continuous and reversible vegetation dynamics (range model) with a more contemporary model that can accommodate discontinuous and non‐reversible ...

Rangeland utilization in Mediterranean farming systems

Animal, 2010
In the countries surrounding the Mediterranean basin, most of the semi-natural grazing lands are covered by rangelands. Rangelands can be defined as highly heterogeneous natural vegetation communities with high conservation value, growing in harsh ...
