Mounir Louhaichi, Kristina Toderich. (21/10/2018). Managing rangelands: promoting native shrub species: Bassia prostrata (L. ): A resilient drought and salt tolerant shrub use for rangeland improvement and for provision of quality fodder for livestock. Beirut, Lebanon: International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA).
Arid and semi-arid rangelands face increasing climate variability and grazing pressure as the world’s demand for food increases. ICARDA is introducing drought tolerant species as a crucial means of assisting rangeland rehabilitation efforts, helping to conserve rapidly-depleting water resources and maintain grazing at sustainable levels. The result: a win-win situation for rural communities and the environment.
