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 ...
A new pastoral code for Tunisia: Reversing degradation across the country’s critical rangelands
In response to the severe economic, social, and environmental costs of degradation across Tunisia’s rangelands, the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) has worked with the General ...

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, ...

Using range and forage species to improve the system’s productivity and to build resilience of agro-pastoral systems in semi-arid North Kordofan-Sudan Annual Report
Activities carried out included the following: Multipurpose fodder trees and shrubs of North Kordofan State, cactus introduction and evaluation, awareness increase and field days. Seven rangelands species were identified, ...
Diverse and resilient agro-pastoral systems: a common goal for the Mediterranean regions
The potential of agriculture to maintain or even further intensify production to meet the food and fibre
needs of increasing populations without degrading the capacity of the resource base is a major concern worldwide.

Inception Workshop for Enhancing Sustainability and Fodder Production of Lowland Pastures through Integrated Alley Cropping & Conservation Agriculture in Arid Agropastoral Ecosystems in Jordan, Yemen and Tunisia
Each participating country presented its experience in dealing with subject matter. A member of each team presented a power point with the group. During the meeting each country developed its work plan which then was ...
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 ...
Improving Forage Production Quantity and Quality Using Native Legume Species in Semi arid Agrosilvopastoral Systems
