impacts of sustained heavy grazing on plant diversity and composition in lowland and upland habitats across the Kamiesberg mountain range in the Succulent Karoo, South Africa
Ranch Ownership Change and New Approaches to Water Resource Management in Southwestern Montana: Implications for Fisheries
This article reports on a survey of ranch owners in high amenity areas in southwestern Montana that have experienced marked ownership change over the last two decades. Specifically, we focus on findings from a set of questions targeting water resource and riparian area management.
La gestion fourragère dans les élevages laitiers des Andes sèches : rationalité et performances
For some fifteen years, dairy cattle farming has been considerably developing in various parts of the Andes. Milk is transformed into cheese or sold fresh, giving rural families a regular income which secures their food supply. The stock-rearing practices in these Andean dairying systems are unrecognized and are often considered, wrongly, as underperforming and inadequate.
Potential Land Use Implications of a Global Biofuels Industry
In this paper we investigate the potential production and implications of a global biofuels industry. We develop alternative approaches to consistently introduce land as an economic factor input and in physical terms into a computable general equilibrium framework.

Biodiversity of semi-arid Mediterranean grasslands: Impact of grazing and afforestation
Grazing-Induced Modifications to Peak Standing Crop in Northern Mixed-grass Prairie
Selective grazing can modify the productive capacity of rangelands by reducing competitiveness of productive, palatable species and increasing the composition of more grazing-resistant species.
