Analysis of Barriers and Challenges Rangeland Management (Case Study: Rangelands Kermanshah province)

awareness of the effects of fire on various aspects of an ecosystem after the fire,is important for range management. changes in soil physical and chemical propertiescaused by fire can be the cause of changes in the vegetation. in this study, effects of fire onphysical and chemical characteristics of soil were investigated. this research was carriedout in a randomized block design method in the...

 In recent years, rangelands have been regarded as potential carbon sinks. One of the most widely suggested options to sequester more C in rangelands is the restoration of the degraded rangelands through grazing the exclusion. In present study, the effects of exclusion on the carbon sequestration of Gomishan rangelands were investigated. Three transects were established in a key area inside and...

Rangelands in Saudi Arabia extend over more than 175 m.ha. (about 75% of country land area) while woodland forests occupy only 2.7 m.ha. and are limited to the south western highlands. The diversity in landscape has been reflected in terrestrial plant species diversity. Range vegetation as well as forest understory vegetation has long history of grazing by livestock and wildlife herbivores. In ...

in natural ecosystems, biological relationships have serious effects on system stability. allelopathic is negative or positive effect of a plant on other plant growth. today this word is used for rangelands, same as agricultural areas. because of good herbage production, medicago is most common plant in agricultural rotations and rangelands. therefore investigation of its allelopathic qualities...

West Nile virus has undergone an unprecedented rate of infection in North America, sweeping from New York to California in four years. It attacked an exceptionally broad range of hosts/vectors over a broad geographic area. In 2004, the California Department of Health Services received approximately 98,000 reports of dead birds, representing tens of millions of birds killed by West Nile virus in...
