In order to describe grasshopper (Orthoptera: Acrididae) species composition, diversity, abundance, and density of four rangelands types, we compared the grasshopper community composition and dynamics in the rangeland of the northern slopes of the Qilian Mountains. In total, 55 grasshopper species were collected from 2007 to 2009, representing three families and six subfamilies. The subfamily O...

Much of the world's rangelands contribute to food production through extensive grazing systems. In these systems, livestock producers, pastoralists, and ranchers move animals access variable feed water resources create value while supporting numerous other ecosystem services. Loss mobility due political, social, ecological, economic factors is documented throughout world poses a substantial ris...

Rangelands represent one of the most important natural resources in mountainous regions of northern Nepal. However, a poor understanding of the social dimensions of rangeland use has limited their proper management and sustainable development, which represent major challenges for Nepal's resource managers. Institutional development is thought to be a viable solution to this problem and may ulti...

Roundup is the major beef cattle education and outreach event sponsored by Kansas State University Agricultural Research Center - Hays. This report communicates timely, applicable research information on production rangeland topics.

To determine suitable indices for vegetation cover and production assessment based on remote sensing data, simultaneous digital data with field data belonged to summer rangeland of southern part of Isfahan province were analyzed. During 2 years of monitoring, annuals, grasses, forbs and shrubs vegetation cover and total production data from sixty 1 square meter plots in each site were collected...

this research was conducted to recognize sibak-sardab watershed rangeland potentials, evaluate and determine of suitability classes for sheep grazing. in this research, we used the proposed method of fao (1992) and for information layers crossing used in geographical information system (gis). in this research, sensitivity to erosion, water resources and forage production are three basic compone...

abstract. over the past decades, range managers have devoted extensive efforts to conserve and restore rangelands and sustain their exploitation but these efforts are more focused on the classic sciences and the exploiters' knowledge and experience have been neglected in the process. therefore, current study was done to deal with the prioritizing and comparing factors affecting rangeland exploi...
