Simplification of stand structure of forests and woodlands through human-induced modification is a serious threat to biodiversity. Restoring lost habitat complexity and heterogeneity, such as woody debris, requires an understanding of the relationshi

Degraded soils at mine sites are often associated with decreased soil fertility. However, soil nutrient status might be improved through biomass recovery primarily from re-vegetation. This paper relates nutrient cycling index (NCI) derived from Lands

Various factors lead to increased woody species density, biomass and cover (so-called ‘bush encroachment’) that influence ecosystem functioning and services in semi-arid rangelands. Ultimately, bush encroachment has adverse effects on human livel

Summary There is a global need for inexpensive tools for research and monitoring. Landscape function analysis (LFA) is a visual assessment procedure used to assess and monitor soil function rapidly from measurable soil surface characteristics. It use

Two percent organic carbon (OC) (grams C per gram soil) provides a threshold for soil stability; below this threshold, soils become highly erodible as macroaggregates slake to form microaggregates. However, it is a long-held belief that a degree of s

The world's large and rapidly growing human population is exhausting Earth's natural capital at ever-faster rates, and yet appears mostly oblivious to the fact that these resources are limited. This is dangerous for our well-being and perhaps for our

It is rare but not unknown for a sustained “cradle to grave” effort to be applied in restoring lands affected by mining. The author suggests that a logical sequence of data gathering and analysis be used to make sure that the most appropriate soi

Ecosystems in the tropics can vary substantially, despite occurring in the same latitudinal zone. However, a common feature is their high biodiversity, with more than 50% of all plant and animal species being found in tropical forests, despite only o
