Managing rangelands: promoting well-adapted shrub species: Atriplex leucoclada: mitigating highly saline soils
Atriplex leucoclada is one such native biennial and palatable halophyte species in the Mediterranean region. Due to its easy and rapid establishment in both saline and degraded rangelands, it is being used as a source of ...
A reliable and non-destructive method for estimating forage shrub cover and biomass in arid environments using digital vegetation charting technique
Despite the importance of fodder shrubs to small ruminant diets and production in arid and semiarid ecosystems, they are often not considered when quantifying grazing land potential. This oversight is mainly due to the ...
