Abstract:

It was held in the Kyzylkum region, located in the Konimekh region of the Navoi region. In the course of research, 2 irrigation wells, typical for the rangelands of the Kyzylkum desert, were selected as sites. As a result of the study, the state of desert rangelands and the reasons for their crisis as a result of anthropogenic impact, the dominant desert plants, were analyzed. It has been established that the cause of the rangeland crisis is also the impact of anthropogenic factors on the dominant species in desert rangelands, that is, overgrazing and undergrazing.

Abstract:

Several assumptions about the levels and causes of rangeland degradation in Mongolia are widely accepted by a range of stakeholders. These assumptions have become important in terms of guiding strategies and policy directions. This paper provides a critical analysis of five widely-held assumptions about rangeland degradation in Mongolia to the more specific case of the rangelands of the Gobi Desert. These assumptions are: (i) there are too many animals; (ii) the relative increase in goat numbers has led to desertification; (iii) rainfall is declining; (iv) there is declining pasture biomass; a

Abstract:

Herders’ desirable stocking rates and their opinions of overstocking were studied using survey and multi-regression methods in the meadow steppe, typical steppe and desert steppe regions of northern China. It was found that individual herders had their own perception of their particular ‘desirable stocking rate’, which referred to the number of livestock that the herders thought they could keep or maintain on an area of rangeland over a specified period of time. These perceptions were not in line with the ‘balancing animals and grass’ policy of the Chinese government, and herders used them as

This special issue of Historical Records of Australian Science explores some of the sciences that have contributed to our understanding of inland Australia, country variously known as desert, the arid zone, drylands and the outback.

In recognition that desert science has surged ahead in the past few decades, we have invited contributors who describe various different desert initiatives. We use these case studies to open

The extremes of climate cause periodic shortages of fodder availability that, together with the lack of drinking water and adequate animal shelters, can cause severe animal loss, particularly during the winter but also in ot

Abstract:

For this study, conducted in a semiarid (318 mm) rangeland setting in the Chihuahuan Desert region in northern Mexico, we evaluated the seasonal and interannual variability of precipitation, vegetation, and groundwater relations. Between 2012 and 2014, a series of soil and water conservation practices (e.g., land imprinting, contour furrows, and planting of native shrub species) were conducted in several areas within the 2500 ha study site. Since 2014, the site has been gradually instrumented to monitor several hydrologic variables, including rainfall, soil water content, and groundwater. The

Abstract:

Domestic livestock may indirectly affect bird species through changes in vegetation structure (e.g. cover), reducing the availability of food, nesting sites, refugia and, therefore, reproduction in many ecosystems worldwide. However, it remains unclear how the effect of livestock on vegetation structure can influence insectivorous birds that use shrubs for nest construction and placement rather than for feeding. Several species from the Furnariidae family inhabit Monte Desert, Argentina, exhibiting an extraordinary diversity in nest placement and structure that allows them to survive habitat a

Abstract We compared carcass characteristics of 11 Raramuri Criollo (RC) and 8 Criollo x Brangus crossbred (XC) steers raised together on Chihuahuan Desert rangeland. Steers entered the trial (completely randomized design) at approximately 5 months of age (December, 2015). Initial weights of RC and XC steers were 233.7 ± 7.8 and 231.4 ± 9.2 kg, respectively. Steers weighed 423.1 ± 7.8 (RC) and 483.0 ± 9.2 (XC) kg at 29 months of age (February 1, 2018), before being shipped to South Dakota where they were fed hay for approximately one month until slaughter (February 28, 2018).

Abstract:

Mongolia is a massive, semi-arid country in central Asia that encompasses 1,500,000 km2, with grasslands making up around 75% of the territory. These grasslands have long supported herders and are important for grazing animals. However, one of the most severely impacted ecosystems in the world is the Mongolian rangeland, and approximately 70% of the rangelands have been degraded by biotic and abiotic factors, as well as human activities. Our research focuses on the Khanbogd soum district of the southern Mongolian province of Umnugobi. The Khanbogd soum is occupied by the herds of Nomgon, Javkh

Abstract:

Ecosystem services emerged as a concept to bridge ecosystem conservation and the sustainable use of natural resources. Given the limited funding and resources available for ecosystem conservation, fully understanding and identifying the temporal-spatial patterns of ecosystem services can help establish a cost-efficient ecosystem conservation strategy. Although studies have indicated globally important ecosystem services on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP), key ecosystem services, such as carbon storage, water provision and habitat quality, have not been spatial-explicitly quantified, leading

AbstractThe herbicide imazapic is registered for use on rangelands and provides effective short-term control of certain invasive annual grasses. However, details about optimal application rates for downy brome and susceptibility of simultaneously seeded species are lacking. Thus, we investigated downy brome and seeded species responses to variable rates of imazapic (0, 35, 70, 105, and 140 g ai/ha) in two plant communities (salt desert shrub and Wyoming big sagebrush). In autumn 2003, plots were treated with imazapic and seeded with one of five perennial plant materials (Siberian wheatgrass [‘

Abstract:

Creosote bush (<em>Larrea tridentata</em> [DC.] Cov.) is a perennial shrub which is a major dominant species in arid rangelands in southwestern Texas, U.S. Controlling creosote bush in desert rangelands is important because as it increases in density, perennial grass production is reduced. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between morphological characteristics and understand how these characteristics interact with the environment to affect production of creosote bush. In this study, a range of morphological traits was investigated at several southwestern Texas sites,
