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 vegetation as wildlife habitat
1988Managing rangelands as wildlife habitat requires knowledge of both plant ecology and wildlife biology. A common understanding of principles fundamental to both disciplines is also necessary. Furthermore, it should be recognized that vegetation, and wildlife habitat values, can change daily, seasonally, annually, and over longer periods of time.

Environmental Management, 2014
Applying the threshold concept to rangeland management is an important challenge in semi-arid and arid regions. Threshold recognition and prediction is necessary to enable local pastoralists to prevent the occurrence of an undesirable state that would result from unsustainable grazing pressure, but this requires a better understanding of the ...

Tundra vegetation as a rangeland resource
1988Tundra rangelands comprise about 10% of the earth’s land surface. They provide forage all or part of the year for millions of wild and domestic reindeer and for muskoxen as well as summer range for other domestic ungulates. Arctic tundra habitats are of international significance because of their importance to waterfowl and other migratory bird species.

Vegetation, Soil, and Animal Indicators of Rangeland Health
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 1998We studied indicators of rangeland health on benchmark sites with long, well documented records of protection from stress by domestic livestock or histories of environmental stress and vegetation change. We measured ecosystem properties (metrics) that were clearly linked to ecosystem processes.

Rangeland vegetation productivity and biomass
1988Herbage weight or biomass is an important characteristic for range vegetation since it supports directly or indirectly all consumer groups. Plant biomass is also important as a measure of dominance in plant communities. Many methods have been devised to estimate plant biomass, but all have some limitations.
