Oklahoma is blessed with an abundance of excellent forage resources. Many Oklahoma producers enjoy the benefits of operating livestock production systems on both rangeland and introduced-forage pastures. However, some producers may not be aware of the need for different management strategies for the two ecosystems. Improper management generally results in decreased profitability of the livestoc...

We show that the convergences of Jungck, JungckMann, Jungck-Ishikawa, Jungck-Noor and Jungck-multistep iteration processes are equivalent for a class of generalized contractivelike operators defined on a Banach space. Our results are generalizations and extensions of the work of Soltuz [20, 21], Zhiqun [23] and some other numerous ones in literature.

We introduce a modified Noor iteration scheme generated by an infinite family of strict pseudo-contractive mappings and prove the strong convergence theorems of the scheme in the framework of q−uniformly smooth and strictly convex Banach space. Results shown here are extensions and refinements of previously known results.

Seeding rangeland following wildfire is a central tool managers use to stabilize soils and inhibit the spread of invasive plants. Rates of successful seeding on arid rangeland, however, are low. The objective of this study was to determine the degree to which water availability, invasive plant abundance, and seeding technology influence postfire seedling establishment. Across four fire complexe...

In this paper, we analyze a three-step iterative scheme for three strongly pseudocontractive mappings in a uniformly smooth Banach space. Our results can be viewed as an extension of three-step and two-step iterative schemes of Glowinski and Le Tallec [3], Noor [1215] and Ishikawa [7], Liu [10] and Xu [20]. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 47H10, 47H17: Secondary 54H25

Extensive livestock production has been Mongolia’s major industry for centuries and traditional nomadic herding lifestyle and Mongolia’s expansive rangelands sustain this industry. After the democratic election and economic liberalization in 1992, formerly state-owned collectives were disbanded and Mongolia’s livestock population was privatized. There was no longer a state institution to formal...

The purposeof this studywas to Analyzing factors that effecting on rangeland degradation. Statistical population of this research consisted of whole farmer in Pirtaj district (N= 1600); from that 120 farmer were selected as sample using cluster sampling. The main tool to collect data was a researcher made questionnaire that Content validity of the questionnaire was approved, by a panel of exper...

this study aimed to determine the effect of land use changes from rangeland to horti-agricultural lands on the most important qualitative characteristics of soil such as total soil carbon and particulate organic matter, in salavatabad region, sanandaj. in the present study, one rangeland, two cultivated pea lands, two cultivated wheat lands and two gardens were selected in growth season in the ...

The book written by seventeen experts in the field of rangeland management, this compilation of essays brings to light the latent issues concerning this subject to readers all over the globe. Though technical approaches can address some issues, social processes ultimately prevent the balancing of these matters. Socio-economic and political institutions are often a stumbling block for improving ...
