Ecosystem properties of surficial (0–10 cm) soils in remnant herbaceous patches were compared to those of contrasting woody plant patch types (upland discrete cluster, upland grove, and lowland woodland) where shifting land cover is known to have occurred over the past 50–77 yr. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and quantify the biogeochemical consequences and subsequent developmental r...

We study the role of bush encroachment control for a farmer's income and income risk in a stochastic ecological-economic model of grazing management in semi-arid rangelands. In particular, we study debushing as an instrument of risk management that complements the choice of an adaptive grazing management strategy for that sake. We show that debushing, while being a good practice for increasing ...

The article deals with the problems of criminal law counteraction to violent crimes against order management. Attention is focused on high social danger these crimes, due peculiarities object encroachment, while differs taking into account various forms violence. A subspecies management related use violence subjects managerial activity, responsibility for which provided in Articles 317, 318, Pa...

Resistance is a theme that has preoccupied many of us lately. I personally have tried (perhaps unsuccessfully) to resist the encroachment work life into my personal spaces as enter thirteen...

Bush encroachment leads to land degradation in semiarid to arid regions. Over 45 million hectares of agricultural land in Namibia are affected. This is worrisome as nearly 70% of the Namibian population depends on agricultural activities and the beef industry is the mainstay of the farming communities. This study employed secondary data sources to provide a review of the problems and benefits o...

ITE JOURNAL / AUGUST 2001 BACKGROUND High speeds and rapidly increasing vehicle volumes characterize many of America’s rural, two-lane highways. These features, combined with midto shortradius horizontal curves and limited sight distances, can create hazardous road conditions for the motoring public. These highways may or may not exhibit high accident numbers or rates but are often described by...

Rangelands of the United States provide ecosystem services that benefit society and rural economies. Native tree encroachment is often overlooked as a primary threat to rangelands due slow pace cover expansion positive public perception trees. Still, fragments these landscapes reduces herbaceous production, thereby threatening habitat quality for grassland wildlife economic sustainability anima...
