Restoration of Degraded Semi-Arid Communal Grazing Land Vegetation Using the Exclosure Model
Degradation of communal grazing land vegetation is a widespread problem throughout sub Saharan Africa and its restoration is a challenge for the management of many semi-arid areas. This study assessed the effectiveness of different age (young versus old) exclosures on species composition and diversity, biomass production and woody structure in northern Ethiopia. The species composition and dive...
متن کاملShort-term Effects of Rabbit Grazing on a Degraded Short-tussock Grassland in Central Otago
Despite 120 years of rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus L.) control in New Zealand, there is a surprising dearth of quantitative information on the damage rabbits cause to agricultural systems and the environment. Research and debate on rabbits have traditionally centred on the various technical options available for their control, and their cost efficiency. Little attention has been paid to the env...
متن کاملIs grazing exclusion effective in restoring vegetation in degraded alpine grasslands in Tibet, China?
Overgrazing is considered one of the key disturbance factors that results in alpine grassland degradation in Tibet. Grazing exclusion by fencing has been widely used as an approach to restore degraded grasslands in Tibet since 2004. Is the grazing exclusion management strategy effective for the vegetation restoration of degraded alpine grasslands? Three alpine grassland types were selected in T...

متن کاملShifting Mosaics in Semi-Steppe Rangelands Driven by Interactive Effect of Human Made Disturbances
Semi-steppe rangelands are a complex, highly dynamic and often multi-layered mosaic of grassland, shrubland, and intermediate communities. A few recent studies have explicitly or implicitly developed synthetic hypotheses about how interactive effects of human made disturbances initiate dynamic changes in plant community composition to cause a shifting mosaic of vegetation pattern across the lan...
