Resilience and sustainable use of rangelands depend on pre- and post-degradation management. A sustainable rangeland use can be achieved by maintaining its productivity in the long run. Herbivory and drought are the two main stressors reducing the primary production of rangelands and, hence, related ecosystem functions and services as well as livestock production. In semiarid rangelands, herbivore populations can be kept at its varying carrying capacity through encouraging animal harvesting when forage production decreases to avoid rangeland degradation. Degraded areas can also be restored through reseeding with appropriate local species to enhance rangeland resilience, particularly given the current and projected impacts of climate change ...
