Rangelands, Drylands & Pastoralism

Los ecosistemas pastoriles del mundo se caracterizan por algún grado de aridez y pastoreo por grandes herbívoros, que por su biomasa por área y los efectos de su actividad pueden ser consideradas especies ingenieras del ecosistema.

En el presente trabajo se realiza un análisis comparativo de la dinámica del pastoreo en dos comunidades de la puna o altiplano jujeño, a fin de identificar las diversas estrategias empleadas para reducir los riesgos y la incertidumbre asociada a la actividad pastoril.

The primary objective of the National Land Use Plan (NLUP) is to provide a strategic framework to guide land development in Guyana. As such the NLUP is built upon a number of national policies and strategies that have a direct relevance for land use and land management.

Dans le contexte de mettre en œuvre ses engagements dans le cadre de la Convention des Nations Unies sur la Lutte contre la Désertification, le Maroc s’est dote d’un Programme d’Action National de Lutte Contre la Désertification (PANLCD).

Aiming at the Conservation and Sustainable Management of Rangelands, as announced in the Vision, the Jordan Government has elaborated the National Rangeland Strategy, updating the strategy developed in 2001, to be implemented within maximum 5 years.

With the current complexity of issues facing forest and land management, the implementation of the REDD+ initiative comes with significant risks, including conflict.

The effect of canopy removal, a form of non-lethal disturbance, was assessed for the interaction between two co-occurring American East Coast salt marsh angiosperms, Schoenoplectus americanus (Pers.) Volkart ex Schinz and R. Keller and Distichlis spicata (L.) Greene, in a greenhouse replacement series experiment. In mixture, aboveground production of S.

In Tigray, Ethiopia, land degradation is a dominant environmental problem and hence the regional government has undertaken restoration measures on degraded soils since 1991. The present study was aimed to assess the impact of land uses and soil management practices on soil properties, and consequently on soil quality of degraded soils.

Much of the world's rangelands are dominated by woody species. Competing land uses and continued encroachment of woody species into non-woody dominated rangelands have reduced grasslands in many parts of the world. Land use conversions to fuel and feed global populations, especially for increasing numbers of middle class people seeking broader, meat-based diets, will certainly continue.
