Is long-term protection useful for the regeneration of disturbed plant communities in dry areas?
In dry areas, natural plant communities are mainly affected by climatic stress and human disturbances – overgrazing, ploughing and biomass harvesting – that accelerate their degradation. Management techniques, including ...
Rangeland restoration and management in relation to land tenure and vegetation type: the revival of the resting “Gdel” technique in southern Tunisia
Even if preliminary results have shown that a protection period of 3 years is not sufficient for disappeared species to appear nor for succession to reach a next stage, mainly in the degraded Stipa tenacissima community, ...
Rangeland Monitoring & Assessment Training Workshop
The aim of the training course is building capacity of the Engineers and technical staff involved in rangeland management and development from Office of Livestock and Pastures (OEP), Commissariat Régional au Développement ...
Amélioration de la gouvernance des parcours collectifs du Sud Tunisien: Défis et Opportunités
Training Material of a two days Training on Rangeland Governance designed for Tunisian Governmental Forest Officers
Grassland/rangelands based livestock production systems: Options and trade-offs between productivity and GHG emissions reductions
The global warming is expected to further contribute to the process of rangeland degradation as a result of mis-management and may have significant adverse impacts on range species under high CO2 emissions scenarios. Already ...
Formation sur la Gouvernance des Parcours Collectifs
Course program of a two days Training on Rangeland Governance designed for Tunisian Governmental Forest Officers
Physiological, anatomical and antioxidant responses to salinity in the Mediterranean pastoral grass plant Stipa lagascae
Soil and water salinity is a major environmental problem in the dry Mediterranean regions, affecting rangeland production. This study investigated the effects of salinity on the wild perennial grass (Poaceae) species Stipa ...
The Relevance of Rest Periods in Rangeland Management for Biomass Rehabilitation in Tataouine, Tunisia, Spring 2017
Field visits were carried out during March 2017 and allowed to identify and classify the sites subjected to rest according to the land tenure system and age of the implementation of the technique. During these visits, the ...
The Relevance of Rest Periods in Rangeland Management for Plant Density in Tataouine, Tunisia, Spring 2017
In southern Tunisia, rangelands are overexploited because the animal needs highly exceed plant production. For most of the skeletal desert soil, the overall vegetation covering oscillates between 1 and 10%; the perennial ...
