Infiltration rate of water into the soil depends on the factors such as rock and litter cover, canopy cover, rainfall intensity, coarse material, land slope, soil texture and amount of initial soil moisture. The most important factors that are effective in the water infiltration rate of rangelands are livestock trampling and vegetation reduction due to the overgrazing. In present study, through...

In this paper, based on a guanaco–sheep competitive system, we develop and analyze mathematical models with unilateral bilateral control for the management of overgrazing. We first dynamics uncontrolled system. It then follows analysis system impulsive by differential equation geometry theory. mainly prove existence stability order-1 periodic solution order-2 Some numerical simulations includin...

OBJECTIVE Echinococcosis is a major parasitic zoonosis of public health importance in western China. In 2004, the Chinese Ministry of Health estimated that 380,000 people had the disease in the region. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is highly co-endemic with both alveolar echinococcosis (AE) and cystic echinococcosis (CE). In the past years, the Chinese government has been increasing the financial s...

Natural grassland productivity, which is based on an individual plant's aboveground biomass (AB) and its interaction with herbivores, can obviously affect terrestrial ecosystem services and the grassland's agricultural production. As plant traits have been linked to both AB and ecosystem success, they may provide a useful approach to understand the changes in individual plants and grassland pro...

The superficial strata of ground have been perennially exposed to the action of natural agents such as heat, cold and water. However, grazing agent was not different from them when soils were investigated from temperate rangelands of Kashmir and caused the soil compaction, soil structure degradation and loss of soil organic C and C/N ratio. Soils from three grazing intensities were investigated...

The soil–vegetation relationships are reciprocal and fundamental for terrestrial ecosystem integrity. However, the long-term degradation of vegetation cover alters edaphic conditions, which can lead to habitats, obstructs proper functioning. This study aimed assess effects perennial steppe due overgrazing (i.e., continuous free grazing) on physicochemical characteristics soil fertility in range...

The Nyangatom, in South Omo, Ethiopia, are a group of agro-pastoralists whose access to land is affected by large-scale sugarcane development projects. An informed selection appropriate livestock management measures local communities requires spatially explicit representation prevailing and changing supply–demand relationships for herds among the Nyangatom. This study addresses this caveat iden...
