Assessing the impact of livestock grazing on vegetation dynamics of the Jordanian Badia
The major drivers leading to rangeland degradation include overgrazing, climate change and encroachment of rain fed agriculture. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the response of vegetation characteristics to ...
Land Degradation Risk Assessment for Sustainable Rangeland Restoration in Jordan
Rangeland Hydrology and Erosion Model (RHEM) was used to explore three different rangeland states’ implications on water and soil fluxes. The estimated baseline (A), based on literature review and community questionnaire, ...
Exploring the Jordanian rangeland status transition merging the restoration experiment with modeling
Due to recurring droughts and severe overgrazing, Jordan’s dry rangelands are exceptionally prone to degradation. Establishing both restoration and sustainable rangeland management practices are crucial to reverse the ...
