Soil characteristics and functions are critical determinants of rangeland systems and the ecosystem services that they provide. Rangeland soils are extremely diverse, but an emerging understanding is that paradigms developed in more mesic forest ecosystems may not be applicable. Vascular plants, biological soil crusts, and the soil microbial community are the three major functional groups of or...

The theme for the papers in the issue is “Hydrology and the Environment”. There is a mix of review papers and research papers. Climate change and water are very important subjects in these times. Hydrology is the science of water, and the environment has water as one of the three principal earthly components, the other two being the air and the earth. Hence, hydrology and the environment would ...

We conducted a 5-year study on the impact of nutrients, depending on stream and season. grazing on stream-channel bare ground and erosion, and a © CSA 3-year study of cattle-trail erosion on intermittent stream channels draining grazed oak (Quercus)-woodland 450. Correlations of stocking with the cryptogamic soil watersheds. These studies were conducted on the San crust of a semi-arid rangeland...

Based on the Project report of Determination Rangeland Availability and Range Status Classes carried out by Management Eastern Anatolia Agricultural Research Institute, eleven districts Çanakkale are ordered in terms rangeland quality. For this reason, four different rankings were obtained AHP, TOPSIS, VIKOR WASPAS methods. According to made methods, while district with highest quality was Biga...
