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 ...

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, ...
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 ...
