Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the ecology and management of rangelands and similar grassland ecosystems. Articles focus on vegetation dynamics, including biomass, species composition, and structural heterogeneity, as influenced by factors such as fire, grazing, herbicide application, and climate. The journal also addresses the socio-ecological aspects of rangeland management, including governance, pastoral livelihoods, human-wildlife conflict, and the impact of human activities on these environments. Additionally, research on plant establishment, invasive species control, and the effects of environmental changes like temperature and drought on plant communities is featured.
