  • Actor-network analysis of partners facilitating regenerative ranching practices in the US Northern Great Plains

    Open AccessTimothy Pape, Gwendŵr R Meredith et al.ARTICLERangelands2025

    Regenerative agriculture has been offered as an ecologically thoughtful means of food production, yet questions remain regarding how individuals in rural communities transition toward regenerative practices. • We studied dynamics related to the transition from traditional ranching to regenerative ranching by employing actor-network analysis on 24 semistructured interviews from ranchers in the Northern Great Plains region of the United States, who…

  • Heat stress induced by irrigation over the US Great Plains and related uncertainties

    Open AccessLiang Chen, Ifeanyi Chukwudi Achugbu et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Irrigation plays a crucial role in agricultural production across the US Great Plains. Meanwhile, it is a key driver of local and regional climate due to its influence on energy and water exchange between land surface and atmosphere. Despite the irrigation-induced evaporative cooling on temperature alone, how irrigation affects summer heat stress—a combination of temperature and humidity can become a concern to public health—is not well understoo…

  • Understanding the values that inform regenerative ranching in the Northern U.S. Great Plains

    Open AccessTimothy Pape, Gwendŵr R Meredith et al.ARTICLEAgriculture and Human Values2024Cited by: 2References: 3

    The effects of environmental degradation and climate change are propelling a discourse shift towards regenerative agriculture, yet understanding motivations for implementing regenerative practices on private agricultural lands is still a challenge. We study that challenge within the realm of regenerative ranching, a subcategory of regenerative agriculture. By examining the frequency of values articulated by respondents, a valuation typology stemm…

  • The future of social science integration in rangelands research

    Open AccessMark W Brunson, Lynn Huntsinger et al.ARTICLERangelands2022

    Researchers have studied human dimensions of rangelands since the earliest days of US rangeland science, usually focusing only on white, male, English-speaking ranch owners. To address questions of rural prosperity and collaborative management, social scientists and the Long-Term Agroecosystem Research (LTAR) Network must turn their attention to the perspectives, practices, and experiences of indigenous, non-Anglo, female, and “new rural” rangela…

  • Measuring the social and ecological performance of agricultural innovations on rangelands

    Open AccessSheri Spiegal, Nicholas P Webb et al.ARTICLERangelands2022

    The Long-Term Agroecosystem Research Network launched the LTAR Agricultural Performance Indicator Framework to evaluate how agricultural innovations perform relative to sustainable intensification goals in five domains: Environment, Productivity, Economic, Human Condition, and Social. Here we describe our progress and plans for measuring the performance of agricultural innovations on rangelands. We present a method for measuring outcomes of manag…

  • Effects of Wildfire on Collaborative Management of Rangelands

    Open AccessGwendŵr R Meredith, Mark W BrunsonARTICLERangelands2022

    On the Ground • Multi-jurisdictional rangeland “mega-fires” are becoming more common. • Using interview data, we examined cross-boundary collaboration after the Soda Fire that burned approximately 113,312 ha (280,000 acres) of southwestern Idaho and southeastern Oregon. • We found relationships established in other management contexts were activated by individuals within agencies to share funding and resources to rehabilitate the landscape after …

  • Integrating human dimensions within the LTAR Network to achieve agroecological system transformation

    Open AccessGwendŵr R Meredith, Alycia Bean et al.ARTICLERangelands2022

    Agroecosystem research often focuses on biophysical processes and productivity without incorporating human dimensions research and/or stakeholder engagement. Connecting individual and community well-being to agro-innovation research is required for agro-ecological transformation to sustainable intensification. Long-Term Agroecosystem Research (LTAR) Network sites have historically had varied degrees of human dimensions research within their resea…
