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 ...
Measurement of the aboveground biomass of some rangeland species using a digital nondestructive technique
Plant biomass is usually assumed to be positively correlated with canopy cover. Measurements of
canopy cover can now be easily and precisely made through image processing of high-resolution
digital photography. This study ...
Managing rangelands: promoting sustainable native shrub species - Calligonum comosum
Calligonum comosum: the multipurpose sand dune stabilizer.
Arid and semi-arid rangelands face increasing climate variability and grazing pressure as the world’s demand for food increases. ICARDA is promoting drought-tolerant ...

Managing rangelands: promoting sustainable shrub species: Periploca: A soil stabilizing shrub that can grow in poor soils
Periploca laevigata is an important shrub for grazing in the dry season. Although it contains tannins, it is palatable and is grazed mainly by camels, sheep, and goats. As this plant is able to grow in dry and rocky ...
Managing rangelands: promoting sustainable native shrub species: Fire Bush: the multipurpose sand dune stabilizer
Fire Bush – or Arta - is an excellent pastoral species for fixing soil and providing a source of protein for livestock. Its wood is highly prized as fuel, as it burns smokeless. It grows in course sandy dessert soils and ...
Managing rangelands: promoting sustainable shrub species: Retama: A resilient, pioneer plant for rangeland rehabilitation and stable ecosystems
Retama is noted as an important multi-purpose species in need of conservation. It is a drought-tolerant legume species native to the Mediterranean, which is beneficial for dune stabilization and rangeland rehabilitation. ...
