Over half of the United States is privately owned. Improving environmental sustainability requires that the scientific and management communities provide effective outreach to the many landowners making decisions about land use and management practices on these lands.
Employing rangelands for climate change mitigation is hindered by conflicting reports on the direction and magnitude of change in soil organic carbon (ΔSOC) following changes in woody cover.
Investigating traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) by the scientific approach is a useful way to develop sustainable rangeland management.

Human-induced soil degradation is a serious and complex environmental challenge in Iran.
Much of the world's rangelands are dominated by woody species. Competing land uses and continued encroachment of woody species into non-woody dominated rangelands have reduced grasslands in many parts of the world.
