Anchored in 'average thinking' in studies of arid rangeland dynamics: The need for a step forward from traditional measures of variability
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2015-05-07)
There is a wide consensus that arid and semi-arid environments are highly variable in space and time. The most frequent approaches to describe and analyze arid and semi-arid rangelands are based on the usage of averages ...
Forage provision is more affected by droughts in arid and semi-arid than in mesic rangelands
(Wiley, 2022-06)
Droughts are projected to increase in magnitude, frequency and duration in the near future. In rangelands, the provision of valuable ecosystem services such as forage supply for livestock productivity is intimately linked ...
Comparison of animal biodiversity in three livestock systems of open environments of the semi-arid Chaco of Argentina
(Australian Rangeland Society, 2015-07)
Increasing global food demand requires the exploration of agricultural production systems that minimise the conflict between food production and biodiversity conservation. Cattle ranching is a main land-use in tropical and ...

There is a wide consensus that arid and semi-arid environments are highly variable in space and time. The most frequent approaches to describe and analyze arid and semi-arid rangelands are based on the usage of averages ...
Encroachment of Acacia brevispica and Acacia drepanolobium in semi-arid rangelands of ethiopia and their influence on sub-canopy grasses
(Research Journal of Botony, 2010)
Aridity and overgrazing have convergent effects on ecosystem structure and functioning in Patagonian rangelands
(2018-02)
Over 65% of drylands are used for grazing of managed livestock. Understanding what drives grazing effects on the structure and functioning of rangelands is critical for achieving their sustainability. We studied a network ...
It is okay to be average when quantifying rangeland dynamics Comment on: Easdale, M.H & Bruzzone, O. 2015: Anchored in 'average thinking' in studies of arid rangeland dynamics e The need for a step forward from traditional measures of variability. J. Arid. Environ. 116: 77-81
(Elsevier, 2016-01)
Easdale and Bruzzone (2015) recently indicated that to better capture temporal patterns of rangeland dynamics, there is a need to move forward from simple measures of variability such as mean, standard deviation, and ...
