Reliable measures of biomass, species composition, nitrogen status, and nutritive value provide important indicators the status pastures rangelands, allowing managers to make informed decisions. Traditional methods sample collection necessitate significant investments in time labor. Proximal sensing technologies have potential collect more data with a smaller investment However, protocols for c...

rangelands renewable resources play a very important role in ecosystem regulating, preserving plant genetic reservoirs, water cycle as well as providing large parts of forage requirements. these resources were considered to be a basis for sustainable development and also a basic platform for various economic activities. during the recent years in iran, these valuable sources were subjected to s...

Soil carbon and nitrogen contents play an important role in sustaining soil physical and chemical quality and help to have healthy environments. The continues conversion of rangelands to arable lands has the potential to change carbon and nitrogen sequestration. In this study to evaluate the effects of land use change on soil organic carbon and nitrogen stock, forty samples collected from north...

plant diversity conservation is a main objective in rangelandmanagement. plant diversity is a suitable index for showing the changes ofvegetation in rangelands and has a high correlation with ecosystem parameters.therefore, using this index it is possible to find the changes and manage theecosystem correctly. the current research was performed to determine the speciesdiversity in fashandak rang...

Rangelands of the United States provide ecosystem services that benefit society and rural economies. Native tree encroachment is often overlooked as a primary threat to rangelands due slow pace cover expansion positive public perception trees. Still, fragments these landscapes reduces herbaceous production, thereby threatening habitat quality for grassland wildlife economic sustainability anima...

The aim of this study is to determine the effect rangeland quality Ankara goats fed on some natural in mohair quality. research was carried out 3 different rangelands province. Crude protein, ether extract, Ca, Fe, N, energy contents and digestibility, vitro gas production, relative feed values good plants were highest compared other rangelands, but crude fiber, acid detergent neutral fiber low...
