Degraded versus restored rangeland states in Jordan – hillslope to small-catchment level implications on runoff and erosion
Over the past decades, migration, overgrazing and mismanagement transformed the Jordanian rangelands into degraded badlands. Almost bare and crusted soil surface conditions are interlinked with accelerated runoff, soil ...
International Cooperative Development of Techniques for Sustainability when Managing and Restoring Degraded Rangelands
In the United States 20% of privately owned rangelands are vulnerable to accelerated soil loss. Estimated annual costs of direct and indirect damage caused by soil erosion in the United States is $27 billion dollars. ...
Restoring Degraded Rangelands in Jordan: Optimizing Mechanized Micro Water Harvesting Technique Using Rangeland Hydrology and Erosion Model (RHEM)
Jordan’s rangelands, the so called Badia, home of the Bedouins, are threatened through a combination of over-exploitation of the ecosystem services and a changing climate towards drier seasons and highly erratic rainfalls. ...
Land Degradation Risk Assessment for Sustainable Rangeland Restoration in Jordan
Rangeland Hydrology and Erosion Model (RHEM) was used to explore three different rangeland states’ implications on water and soil fluxes. The estimated baseline (A), based on literature review and community questionnaire, ...
Restoring Degraded Rangeland Ecosystem In Jordan: Optimizing Mechanized Micro-Water Harvesting Using Rangeland Hydrology And Erosion Model (RHEM)
Jordan’s rangelands, the so called Badia, home of the Bedouins, are threatened through a combination of over-exploitation of its ecosystem services and a changing climate towards drier seasons coupled with erratic rainfalls. ...
Rangeland restoration in Jordan: Restoring vegetation cover by water harvesting measures
Restoration of the degraded rangelands in Jordan using mechanized water harvesting and native species
planting has become key to enhancing and maintaining the productivity and resilience of fragile ecosystems. A balanced ...
