Effect of slope aspect on vegetation characteristics in mountain rangelands of Tajikistan: considerations for future ecological management and restoration
Tajikistan’s rangelands are mostly mountainous and consist of summer and winter pastures. Vegetation structure and composition in these diverse landscapes are generally influenced by environmental factors. The objective ...
Yield and nutritive quality of Hedysarum coronarium across three different agro-climatic zones of northern Tunisia
Sulla (Hedysarum coronarium L.) is commonly included in the cropping system as a short-rotation forage crop (one to three years) in northern Tunisia. Thus, this study compared DM production and nutritive value of sulla ...
Community Participation Towards Silvopastoral Restoration
The successful establishment and management of silvopastoral systems has the potential to provide multiple ecosystem services and outputs for rural communities. For these systems to be sustainable, the participation of ...
Silvopastoral Systems and Climate Change Mitigation in Central Tunisia
Livestock farming is part of rural community’s culture and is crucial for human well-being and livelihood. However, absence of desirable forages, lack of diversification and reduced livestock mobility have led to reduced ...
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 ...
