Body
The ecological history of rangelands is often presented as a tale of devastation, where fragile
drylands are irreversibly degraded through inappropriate land-use. There is confusion about how to
recognise and measure degradation, especially in low productivity environments characterised by
extreme natural variability and where abrupt management upheavals mean that there are few
reference sites. These issues have important consequences for rangeland . . . . .
