Degradation of Non-Photosynthetic Vegetation in a Semi-Arid Rangeland
Land degradation in drylands is the process in which undesirable conditions emerge due to human and natural causes. Despite the particularly deleterious effects of degradation, and it’s potentially irreversible nature, regional assessments have provided conflicting extents, rates, and severities of degradation, both globally and regionally. Current monitoring of degradation relies upon the dete...
متن کاملStudying Short-Time Dynamics of Vegetation and Soil Organic Carbon in a Semi-arid Rangeland (Case Study: Zharf, Khorasan Province, Iran)
Abstract. Rangeland vegetation dynamics encompass all processes of changes in vegetation composition and structure over time. Investigating the rangeland ecosystem dynamics makes it possible to determine the effects of climatic and management conditions on qualitative and quantitative changes of the vegetation in a specific period of time. Accordingly, data collection and measurements for evalu...
متن کاملThe Landscape as a Unit for Rangeland Inventory in Arid and Semi-arid Regions of Iran
Severe range degradation was critically extended in many region of Iran and caused many rangelands were restricted and interwoven with croplands in a complex system. Therefore, rangeland planning and inventory as an isolated activity has become almost impossible. Current landscape planning involves contributions of different social organizations often with different interests and with different...
متن کاملModels of Vegetation Dynamics in Semi-arid Vegetation: Application to Lowland Central Otago, New Zealand
New Zealand Journal of Ecology (1997) 21(2): 129-140 ©New Zealand Ecological Society these conceptual extremes should be seen as being endpoints of a range of possible situations, and not as discrete alternatives. It is therefore unlikely that an observed field situation would be completely described by any one of the models alone. More recently developed models use the conceptual extremes as c...
متن کاملeffects of grazing and fire on soil and vegetation properties in a semi-arid rangeland
livestock grazing and rangelands fire are important ecological disturbances influencing the vegetation and soil properties in rangelands ecosystem. this study was conducted to determine the effects of different burned treatments and distances from the water sources on some soil and vegetation properties of rangelands ecosystem. the experiment was conducted in lashgar dar rangelands. vegetation ...
