Developing a toolbox for rangeland restoration/rehabilitation in arid environments
Rangelands are recognized for their importance and value in providing society with valuable products and ecosystem services. In such ecosystems, effective management is needed for sustainable plant growth and survival in ...
Response of arid rangelands to deferred grazing in Southern Tunisia
Rangelands in north Africa and the near east in general provide numerous goods and services that have great economic, social, cultural, and biological values. For centuries, inhabitants of rangelands have engineered pastoral ...
An efficient sampling protocol for sagebrush/grassland monitoring
developed numerous methods and monitoring techniques
that can be used for vegetation sampling (Barbour et al.
1987). The methods used to position samples (transects,
quadrats, lines, and points) vary and can be classed ...
The role of governance in sustainable rangeland management
The management and rehabilitation of degraded rangelands are inherently complex in south
Mediterranean where state and tribal owned pastures are grazed commonly by the agro-pastoralists. The
prospect for increased ...
Effect of seeding rate on the yield of legume-cereal bi-crops in rainfed production systems of Afghanistan
A two-year study (2016-2017) investigated the effect of seeding rate on forage production of monocultures and binary mixtures of barley (Hordeum vulgare), triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack), lathyrus (Lathyrus sativus), ...

Modelling the Impact of Human and Climate Change on Stipa Tenacissima Distribution in the Arid and Semi-Arid Rangelands of North Africa
Rangelands in the Southern part of Tunisia are characterized by the extent of the impact of human
induced activities in particular overgrazing and encroachment of cultivation into best rangeland sites
(Ouled Belgacem et ...
Pastoral Land Use and Grazing Measurement through Remotely Sensed Data
About 60 percent of the world's pasture land (about 2.2 million sq km), just less than half the world's usable surface is covered by grazing systems. These are distributed between arid, semi arid and sub humid, humid, ...
Natural regeneration of severely degraded terrestrial arid ecosystems needs more than just removing the cause of the degradation
Rangelands cover over 75% of Kuwait’s total land area. Most of these rangelands are severely degraded because of overgrazing, poor anthropic utilization, and mismanagement. Restoring natural rangelands is a way to increase ...
Soil Volume: The Effect of Pot Size on Roots and Canopy Growth Performance of Cactus Pear
The influence of soil volume on roots and canopy growth performance of cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) was studied at Palermo University. In November 2014, 1 year old Opuntia ficus-indica cladodes were planted in five ...
