Biodiversity, resilience and the control of ecological-economic systems: the case of fire-driven rangelands | Case |
| This paper advances a model to assess how grazing pressure in rangelands may lead to change in the ecological state of the range with a particular focus on fire-dependent semi-arid rangelands. The impact of management decisions on fire-dependent grasslands, such as active fire suppression policies or the incidental fire suppression effect caused by allocating higher stock densities, serve to reduce the build-up of fuel loads, inhibit fire and its regulating effect on shrub growth. The loss or... | 12 Oct 2021 |
