“…This restructuring has begun in the US through institutions such as the USDA Climate Hubs that aim to synthesize science, develop tools, and connect these resources directly to users via convening activities and outreach. Increasing local access to knowledge is a clear need (Dinan et al 2021) that Climate Hubs and partnering Agricultural Extension offices can fulfill with increased staff who become part of social networks. Similar opportunities exist in other rangelands of the world where government-supported technical staff (eg extension or land management officers) are embedded in local communities and could be leveraged to advance the use of digital tools and CAM.…”

The world's rangelands and drylands are undergoing rapid change, and consequently are becoming more difficult to manage. Big data and digital technologies (digital tools) provide land managers with a means to understand and adaptively manage change. An assortment of tools—including standardized field ecosystem monitoring databases; web‐accessible maps of vegetation change, production forecasts, and climate risk; sensor networks and virtual fencing; mobile applications to collect and access a variety of data; and new models, interpretive tools, and tool libraries—together provide unprecedented opportunities to detect and direct rangeland change. Accessibility to and manager trust in and knowledge of these tools, however, have failed to keep pace with technological advances. Collaborative adaptive management that involves multiple stakeholders and scientists who learn from management actions is ideally suited to capitalize on an integrated suite of digital tools. Embedding science professionals and experienced technology users in social networks can enhance peer‐to‐peer learning about digital tools and fulfill their considerable promise.

“…Se prevén impactos negativos en toda la cadena de suministro de alimentos para el ganado, que afectarán la producción y la calidad nutricional del forraje, la salud del ganado en los pastizales y el transporte debido al estrés térmico y a la exposición a plagas, y la vida útil de los productos durante el transporte y el almacenamiento 197,198 . Se espera que el forraje de los pastizales de la Oficina de Gestión de Tierras disminuya en Arizona y Nuevo México, pero es menos seguro que el forraje de los pastizales se mantenga estable en las partes central y septentrional de California, Colorado, Nevada y Utah debido a las diferencias en la disponibilidad de humedad durante la temporada de crecimiento 197,199 .…”

“…Drought and climate change have long been critical concerns in rangeland studies because they deplete water resources and stifle forage growth while worsening other problems (such as human health and financial strains) [18]. At the same time, reducing water content in plant tissues, persistent droughts, and drought stress limit morphological growth, physiological changes, and yield [19].…”

Drought and desertification have become global environmental problems, posing new obstacles to plant survival and adaptability. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of drought stress on the morphological and physiological traits of Kochia prostrata. (L.) in greenhouse conditions. In the greenhouse experiment, drought stress was conducted in four levels of water regime treatment: 25, 50, 75, and 100 percent field capacity (FC). The experimental design consisted of a completely random design with three replications and 25 seeds per pot for every replication. In the greenhouse, seeds were planted in the soil using plastic containers. Then, 120 days of drought stress were administered, and morphological and physiological parameters were examined. The data were processed, and comparisons of means using the Duncan test (P0.05) were performed. Results demonstrated that when drought stress increased, the morphological and physiological features of K. prostrata decreased significantly. The highest plant dry weight was observed in drought stress of 25% FC and 100% FC with171.45 cm and 282.7 mg, respectively. The lowest rates of photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, transpiration, and mesophyll were observed in 25%FC stress treatments with 0.44 mmol m-1s-1, 0.070 mmol m-1s-1, 1.70 mmol-2s-1, 394.13 respectively. Plant length and Root dry weight are variables that decreased significantly with increasing drought stress. However, the decrease in the values of these variables was not significant at 50, 75, and 100%FClevels but was significant at the most severe drought level (25%FC). Based on the results of this study, it can be suggested that the K. prostrata species can be used in the sustainable development of ecological rehabilitation areas.
