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 ...
Cactusnet: Promoting the social and ecological benefits of cactus production: Promoting Cactus as an alternative and sustainable livestock feed
Given their high-water efficiency and ability to withstand extremely dry conditions, cactus is increasingly being recognized as a more sustainable alternative to traditional livestock forage in dryland areas. This high-energy, ...
Assessing the Vulnerability of Rangeland Ecosystems to Global Climate Change In the Dryland Areas of the Middle East and North Africa Region
Climate change projections provide little information on how this risk might affect rangeland
plant communities in specific regions. Rangelands are by far the most widespread land use type
in the dry areas, and are home ...
Cactusnet: Promoting the social and ecological benefits of cactus production: Enhancing sheep reproduction through cactus-based feed diets
Recurrent fodder scarcity across West Asia and North Africa poses a major threat to the fertility and performance of livestock herds, a mainstay of the region’s agricultural production systems. Cactus plants present a ...
