Response of Sagebrush Steppe Grass Species to AMF Inoculum Sources and Biochar
Microorganisms, 2023 The sagebrush steppe has presented increasing levels of degradation. The addition of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and biochar have been suggested to restore ecosystems. However, little is known about their effects on sagebrush steppe plants.

Rangelands, 2007 How much rangeland do we have? Globally we do not know. I suspect the same can be said nationally. If we do not know what we have, how can we monitor it and develop a strategy for management? Existing statistics and definitions for rangelands or grasslands vary widely.

Optimized Stratification for Mapping Riparian Vegetation in Arid and Semiarid Environments
Remote Sensing, 2019 This paper describes a method of mapping riparian vegetation in semi-arid to arid environments using the Landsat normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). The method successfully identified a range of riparian community types across the entire state

Rangeland Productivity and Exploitation in the Sahel
Science, 1983 Results of a Malian-Dutch research project on the Sahelian pastures and their utilization suggest reasons why some efforts to develop traditional livestock farming in this area have been unsuccessful. Failure to appreciate the effects of low soil fertility as well as low rainfall on pasture production has resulted in underestimation of the productivity

Changes in bird assemblages because of vegetation homogenisation in communal livestock systems
Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2019 Protected areas are intended to promote biodiversity representation and persistence; yet, whether they are effective in degraded landscapes where much of the original vegetation structure remains intact has received relatively little attention.
