Although rangelands are one of the most important
ecological-economic systems on our planet, researchers thus far
have paid scant attention to the study of range management from a
theoretical perspective. As such, this book provides a systematic
approach to the theoretical study of range management under
uncertainty. In particular, the book demonstrates how the theory of
stochastic processes and the techniques of stochastic modelling can
be used to construct and analyse theoretical models of jointly
determined rangelands and thereby shed light on the task of range
management. Because specialised grazing systems involving the
rotation of animals between pastures have been a major focus of
range managers since the 1950s, this book pays considerable
attention to questions that arise when specialised grazing systems
such as short duration grazing are used to manage rangelands.
Specific issues that are analysed in this book include the optimal
number of paddocks in short duration grazing, the steady state
distribution of animals in short duration grazing. Also, the effect
of potential irreversibilities, the choice between the stocking
rate and time, herding in ranch operations, and the role of time in
range management, is discussed.
