Mesquite tells a story about unintended consequences; but it also shows how careful, collaborative responses can lead to solutions for people and the environment.
Decades of experimentation revealed slow ecological processes and long-term interactions that have international scientific value.
Rural communities in South Africa rely on public land to graze their livestock. They must be part of fighting soil erosion and restoring natural grasses.
A new population of the plains-wanderer has been tracked into unexpected habitat. This surprising discovery offers fresh hope for the critically endangered species.
The Grassland Society of Southern Africa has been conducting scientific research for 60 years, adapting to new challenges.
Planting millions of trees in natural grassland is largely ineffective in the battle against global warming because it adds little or no additional carbon storage.
The state’s largest wildfire on record tore across the heart of Texas cattle country, and more days of strong winds were forecast. A rangeland ecologist explains why the flames spread so fast.
Grassfires are normal in central and northern Australia. But fast-growing invasive grasses are supercharging grassfires – and this summer looks like it will be big.
Carbon credits must be scrutinised – and none more so than credits for taking grazing animals off arid rangelands.
