Major changes in rangeland surface morphology and soil characteristics have a drastic effect on the primary productivity of the rangeland ecosystem and, in turn, on livestock production. This suggests a need for interventions to halt land degradation and improve the functional capacity of communal rangelands. A study was conducted to evaluate ways to improve the current status of the degraded rangeland. The study was carried out at the Amakuze Tribal Authority.enVegetation restorationDegraded rangelandsSurface morphologySoil characteristicsCommunal rangelandConference PresentationLesoli, M., Dube, S., & Monde, N.
