| Since the mid-20th century, the Pyrenean pastoral social-ecological system (SES) has undergone socioeconomic and demographic transformations leading to changes in grazing practices and a decline in the livestock industry. Land abandonment has contributed to an ecological transition from herbaceous vegetation cover to shrublands and forests, leading to a loss of ecosystem services, including biodiversity and forage. I interviewed 27 stockmen (ganaderos) in two valleys of the central Pyrenees to document their traditional ecological knowledge and observations of environmental, social, economic, and cultural changes in the valleys. I used poetic analysis, a qualitative data analysis approach, to illustrate and analyze one ganadero’s experience of... |

| In the past decades, social-ecological systems (SESs) worldwide have undergone dramatic transformations with often detrimental consequences for livelihoods. Although resilience thinking offers promising conceptual frameworks to understand SES transformations, empirical resilience assessments of real-world SESs are still rare because SES complexity requires integrating knowledge, theories, and approaches from different disciplines. Taking up this challenge, we empirically assess the resilience of a South African pastoral SES to drought using various methods from natural and social sciences. In the ecological subsystem, we analyze rangelands’ ability to buffer drought effects on forage provision, using soil and vegetation indicators. In the social... |

| Although several institutional and management approaches that address the degradation of the rangelands have been tested in the dry areas of Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA), impact has been limited. Nonetheless, the development of National Action Plans to combat desertification highlights the interest of governments to tackle this issue. Payment for Environmental Services (PES) may be a viable policy option, though, to date, most PES programs have focused on the management of different resources (forests, watersheds). The purpose of this paper is to examine whether PES could be a viable option to promote sustainable rangelands management in the dry rangelands of CWANA. Specifically, it focuses on the scientific gaps and knowledge related to... |

| Este estudo teve como finalidade avaliar as variações mensais da capacidade de suporte de uma área no Pantanal, e propor um cálculo geral de estimativa da capacidade de suporte para as pastagens nativas, com base na produtividade e seletividade das forrageiras existentes nas unidades de paisagem preferidas por bovinos na subregião da Nhecolândia, Pantanal. O estudo foi efetuado numa área de 151 ha, com rebanho de 46 vacas de cria, no período de outubro de 1997 a setembro de 1999. Foram avaliados mensalmente a produção de matéria seca total nas unidades de campo limpo e baixadas, e as respectivas produções de matéria seca total e selecionada dos principais sítios utilizados para pastejo. Um algoritmo foi aplicado para a obtenção das estimativas da... |
