Track 2-14: Successful Rehabilitation in Degraded Grass and Forage Lands
Publication Date
2013
Location
Sydney, Australia
Description
About 14% of the land in Central India (25º20'-26º30'N and 79º45'-78º15'E) is classified as grass/range lands, most of which is degraded. In order to improve condition class of these areas, several land development programs have been undertaken by various agencies. However, long term implications of such interventions are not understood properly. Since oribatid mites constitute an important part of soil ecosystem(Noti et al. 2003) having intricate relations with the niches in soil and their community structure is a swift reflection on ecosystem habitat structure, complexity and other factors, this study was planned.
