Rangeland Ecology, Management and Conservation Benefits

Rangeland Conservation Practices

We conducted a 5-year study on the impact of nutrients, depending on stream and season. grazing on stream-channel bare ground and erosion, and a © CSA 3-year study of cattle-trail erosion on intermittent stream channels draining grazed oak (Quercus)-woodland 450. Correlations of stocking with the cryptogamic soil watersheds. These studies were conducted on the San crust of a semi-arid rangeland...

Roles of experimental marine ecology in coastal management and conservation.

The paper reviews the main findings of rocky shore and subtidal nearshore experimental marine ecology (EME) in cold and temperate marine ecosystems during the past four decades. It analyzes the role of EME in coastal management and conservation. The historical development of strategies for managing single or multispecies fisheries are reviewed. The published results show over-exploitation and d...

Linking Movement Ecology with Wildlife Management and Conservation

A common challenge in species conservation and management is how to incorporate species movements into management objectives. There often is a lack of knowledge of where, when, and why species move. The field of movement ecology has grown rapidly in the last decade and is now providing the knowledge needed to incorporate movements of species into management planning. This knowledge can also be ...

Commentary: Linking Movement Ecology with Wildlife Management and Conservation

Allen and Singh (2016) synthesize the ways movement ecology can inform wildlife management and conservation. The authors develop the " Movement Management Framework " —a stepwise decision tree for evaluating the types of data derived from animal movement studies and how that data can inform conservation decision-making. The authors provide a comprehensive review of the relevant literature but t...

RipaRian Ecology and consERvation

Received 07 May 2012 Accepted 12 December 2012 Abstract The well-documented re-colonisation of the French large river basins of Loire and Rhone by European otter and beaver allowed the analysis of explanatory factors and threats to species movement in the river corridor. To what extent anthropogenic disturbance of the riparian zone influences the corridor functioning is a central question in th...
