Gwembe Tonga land tenure, Zambezi Valley, Zambia | Case |

Grazing, Fire, and Australian Rangeland Dynamics, New South Wales, Australia | Case |

Humans play an important role in these dynamics by raising livestock who graze, and by suppressing fire. The authors of this case explore the implications of these human activities for the resilience of the Australian rangelands, characterized by two main stable states. The first state is dominated by grasses with scattered trees and shrubs.... | 09 Aug 2016 |
