Abstract: Land trusts, partnered with government agencies or acting alone, are working to conserve habitat, open space, and landscapes on private land. Spending both public funds, such institutions frequently acquire less than full title by purchasing accepting donations of conservation easements. These organizational arrangements evolving so fast that it is difficult assess their accomplishments long‐term viability. To understand the contribution these preservation restoration biodiversity,...

Scientific interest in carbon sequestration on rangelands is largely driven by their extent, while the of ranchers United States centers opportunities to enhance revenue streams. Rangelands cover approximately 30% earth's ice-free land surface and hold an equivalent amount world's terrestrial carbon. are grasslands, shrublands, savannas 312 million hectares States. On arid semi-arid sites typical annual fluxes small unpredictable over time space, varying primarily with precipitation, but...
Abstract This work studies the influence of two mulching treatments on soil properties and field performance afforested holm‐oak seedlings ( Quercus ilex L. subsp. ballota (Desf.) Samp.) nine years after outplanting. Mulching composed stones, forest debris, an untreated control were randomly applied to 180 n = 60) in January 2001 at bed level (1 × 1 m) abandoned agricultural SE Spain. Survival, growth measured by means leaf area, nutrient concentrations leaves measured. Both mulches provided...

California ranchers in urbanAlameda and Contra Costa Counties, rural Tehama County, were surveyed to examine effects of increasing development, land use change, attrition the ranching community on their commitment ranching, assess conservation program acceptability.Questions about practices, reasons for what influences ranching's future.Ranchers share much common.Most enjoy "feeling close earth," living a "good place family life," camaraderie community.They regularly carry out range...
Ecosystem management requires cross-jurisdictional problem-solving and, when private lands are involved, cross-boundary cooperation from many individual landowners. Fragmented ownership patterns and variation in values, as well distrust transaction costs, can limit cooperation. Results a landowner survey California were analyzed using an audience segmentation approach. Landowners grouped into four clusters according to motivations: rural lifestyle, working landscape, natural amenity,...

Unprecedented climatic and economic uncertainty, in particular severe drought, calls for management that can preclude some of the costs reactionary measures California ranchers. Increasing adaptive capacity has been widely recommended to address such uncertainty. Within this context, holistic (HM), a decision-making framework marketed ranchers, is interest because it emphasizes systems-based thinking, maximizing flexibility adaptability, ecological monitoring, soil health, goal setting. Many...
Sustaining rangeland ecosystems is as much a social process an ecological one.It requires application of many the same principles those used in planning for wildlife reserves, but tenets conservation biology need to be applied conserve well structural elements and processes.For some rangelands, crucial element sustainable, culturally meaningful, ecologically rich landscape ranching, which at once collection processes interactions, expression human community.Results several surveys studies...
