A management framework for the transition from livestock production toward biodiversity conservation on great plains rangelands
Abstract
Management for biodiversity and other ecosystem services from North America’s rangelands has received increasing attention as recognition of the societal value of those services and payment mechanisms for them have grown. This, combined with adverse effects of livestock management on North American rangeland biodiversity and predictions of a warmer and drier climate reducing rangeland productivity, has led some rangeland scientists to call for a paradigm shift from utilitarian-driven management to biodiversity conservation management. A challenge for rangeland science is to describe management changes required for this shift and to elucidate consequent ecological and economic tradeoffs. On the basis of two criteria, direct alteration of biodiversity and alteration of one or more drivers of biodiversity, a framework of ten ecological conditions is proposed for making the transition from livestock-centered management toward biodiversity-centered management on Great Plains rangelands: (1) composition and productivity of plant communities; (2) herbivory patterns; (3) fire regimes; (4) habitat contiguity; (5) stream hydrology; (6) temporal ecological variability; (7) herbivorous mammal communities; (8) fate of ungulate production; (9) apex predators; and (10) size of management units. Reflecting trends in rangelands elsewhere around the world, a shift toward management for biodiversity on the Great Plains may be facilitated by changes underway in land ownership and by a potentially increasing number of landowners for whom livestock production is of secondary importance to lifestyle and natural amenity benefits from the land.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
