Mountainous rangeland ecosystems have a highly delicate position in ecologic areabecause of severe environmental conditions and having wildlife and livestock. Knowing andrealizing the biotic and abiotic components, which have an interaction with each other in thisecosystem, perform the most important role in to desirable management of it. The systematicmanagement is one of the managing features...

Polycultural agroecosystems, such as rangelands, are too complex and poorly understood to permit precise numerical simulation. Management decisions that depend on behavioral predictions of such ecosystems therefore require a variety of knowledge sources and reasoning techniques. Our approach to designing a computer system that provides advice concerning such ecosystems is to incorporate various...

Researchers have independently documented the effects of land use on rivers and threats to river management institutions, but the relationship between changes in institutional context and river condition is not well described. This study assesses the connections between resource management institutions, land use, and rivers by integrating social science, geospatial analysis, and geomorphology. ...

Alto Minho (in northwestern Iberia) is one of the European regions most affected by fires. Many these fires originate from rangeland management Atlantic heathlands, and, while being illegal, often are not actively suppressed. In this study, pastoral (autumn-to-spring unrecorded authorities), spring wildfires, and summer wildfires were independently mapped dated remote sensing. burned at a mean ...

recognition of rangeland species with the maximum efficiency and the minimum water usage is very important, since major parts of rangelands in iran are located in arid and semiarid climate. in addition, the rangeland improvement and management on the basis of transpiration rate of rangeland species in different climatic conditions has great importance. the goal of this research is comparison an...
