Whither the Rangeland?: Protection and Conversion in California's Rangeland Ecosystems
Land use change in rangeland ecosystems is pervasive throughout the western United States with widespread ecological, social and economic implications. In California, rangeland habitats have high biodiversity value, provide significant habitat connectivity and form the foundation for a number of ecosystem services. To comprehensively assess the conservation status of these habitats, we analyzed...
متن کاملForum Managing Complex Problems in Rangeland Ecosystems
Management of rangelands, and natural resources in general, has become increasingly complex. There is an atmosphere of increasing expectations for conservation efforts associated with a variety of issues from water quality to endangered species. We argue that many current issues are complex by their nature, which influences how we approach them. We define a complex problem as one that varies in...

متن کاملSediment Dynamics and Sources in a Grazed Hardwood Rangeland Watershed
From 1994 to 1998 we documented sediment transport dynamics and sources in a 137 ha grazed hardwood rangeland watershed on granitic soils at the San Joaquin Experimental Range in Madera County. Sediment transport for this watershed was determined by measuring total suspended solids, bedload and flow at an H-flume installed in 1994. Sediment movement as bedload is the primary means of sediment t...
متن کاملMonitoring California Hardwood Rangeland Resources: An Adaptive Approach
This paper describes monitoring hardwood rangelands in California within the context of an adaptive or anticipatory approach. A heuristic process of policy evolution under conditions of complexity and uncertainty is presented. Longterm, short-term and program effectiveness monitoring for hardwood rangelands are discussed relative to the process described. The objectives of monitoring include es...
