The Impact of Affective Heuristics in Decision-Making Regarding the Implementation of Prescribed Fire on Private Rangelands in the Southern Great Plains, USA
Ecosystems around the world are experiencing unprecedented anthropogenic impacts, emphasizing the need for a nuanced understanding of how individual decision-making shapes social-ecological systems. In rangeland systems, prescribed fire can reduce woody plant encroachment, restore the resilience of native grasslands, and mitigate fuel load accumulation limiting catastrophic wildfires. Yet, many individuals decide against this land management prac…
Place-Based Identities of Landowners
In private land dominated landscapes, the landowners’ role identities may affect land management behaviors that, in turn, can dramatically influence native biodiversity. We conducted a mail survey of landowners of >40 ha properties in the Gulf Coast Prairie of Texas, categorized them, identified characteristics that varied among them, described their wildlife-beneficial management practices and role commitment. Hierarchical clustering produced 5 …
Expanding grass-based agriculture on marginal land in the U.S. Great Plains
Compared to conventional tillage-based crop production, grass-based agriculture can support substantially more ecosystem benefits. Moreover, management intensive grazing (MIG) has the capacity to enhance grassland resilience, thereby enhancing the profitability of grass-based agriculture. The research reported here is based on a survey of 4,500 producers in the Great Plains of USA, which aimed to study the role of grazing intensity on producers’ …

Factors Influencing Land Management Practices on Conservation Easement Protected Landscapes
The goal of this article is to investigate factors influencing conservation-oriented land management practices on land holdings with conservation easements. We report the results of a mail survey that produced responses from 251 out of a total of 518 landowners with a permanent conservation easement on their property. We predicted that landowner satisfaction with their easement and good relationships between landowners and easement holders would …
Social and Ecological Factors Influencing Attitudes Toward the Application of High-Intensity Prescribed Burns to Restore Fire Adapted Grassland Ecosystems
Toledo, D., M. G. Sorice, and U. P. Kreuter. 2013. Social and ecological factors influencing attitudes toward the application of high-intensity prescribed burns to restore fire adapted grassland ecosystems. Ecology and Society 18(4): 9. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-05820-180409
From Collaboration to Conservation
This article summarizes 10 years of ethnographic research in the Okavango Delta and describes how local communities are collaborating with government, tour operators, and conservationists to manage wildlife through the Community-Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) program. CBNRM channels social and economic benefits to communities in exchange for their participation in wildlife conservation. Benefits include secured access to land, institut…
Wildlife Conservation and Community-Based Natural Resource Management in Southern Africa's Private Nature Reserves
In southern Africa, legislative changes that devolved wildlife management authority on private land to landowners and growth in the commercial value of wildlife resulted in a substantial increase in private land dedicated to wildlife. In addition, groups of landowners within the bounds of the Great Limpopo Conservation Area have incorporated their properties into private nature reserves, thereby expanding the management scale of common-pool wildl…
Economic implications of maintaining rangeland ecosystem health in a semi-arid savanna
Population Growth and Fertilizer Use
The population of Santa Cruz del Quiché, Guatemala, has been growing rapidly in recent decades, thereby increasing the demand for agricultural land. Interviews and census data indicate that farmers have responded by reducing the use of fallow periods, reducing the amount of land dedicated to forest and pasture, and increasing the quantity of synthetic fertilizer applied. In particular, farmers with less land are less likely to apply organic ferti…
An Integrated Social, Economic, and Ecologic Conceptual (Iseec) Framework for Considering Rangeland Sustainability
Currently, there is no standard method to assess the complex systems in rangeland ecosystems. Decision makers need baselines to create a common language of current rangeland conditions and standards for continued rangeland assessment. The Sustainable Rangeland Roundtable (SRR), a group of private and public organizations and agencies, has created a forum to discuss rangeland sustainability and assessment. The SRR has worked to integrate social, e…

Understanding the Multidimensionality of Property Rights Orientations
In the United States, the nature and limits of private property rights have been central themes in natural resource debates over issues such as rural land use control, public and private rangeland management, and endangered species preservation. In most of these debates, private property owners are characterized as favoring strong protection of private property rights and resisting efforts to condition their rights against the interests of societ…
Groundwater Supply in Texas
Texas is a top water-consuming state in the United States and is increasingly relying on groundwater. Groundwater markets are attracting greater attention as a mechanism for transferring water from rural to urban areas. However, excessive extraction is being exacerbated by the “rule-of-capture” that governs the use of groundwater in Texas combined with widespread subdivision of land. Overexploitation of common-pool resources is not inevitable. A …
