Focus: Enhance water and land productivity in key non- tropical dry area agro-ecologies (rainfed, irrigated, and agro-pastoral). Water resources are the most limiting component of agricultural production in dry areas. ICARDA will therefore continue to improve agricultural water productivity and, in collaboration with our sister center the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and others, develop its framework further for wider adoption. Core to the research effort of SRP5 is enhancing and restoring the provisioning, regulating, and supporting ecosystem services in dry areas. SRP5 will build upon past achievements, which range from rainwater harvesting using landscape modification to supplemental and deficit irrigation. We will take a more integrated approach to managing soil, land, and water resources across the extensive rangelands of non-tropical dry areas through links with the rangeland, livestock, and value chain expertise embedded in the Center. Further, with partner ARIs we will investigate alternative opportunities to diversify the livelihoods of the communities in rangelands, for example in renewable energy.

The Relevance of Rest Periods in Rangeland Management for Plant Cover and Species Composition in Tataouine, Tunisia, Spring
Aug 30, 2025
Louhaichi, Mounir; Ouled Belgacem, Azaiez; Abdelkader, Mohamed; Ben Salem, Farah, 2019, "The Relevance of Rest Periods in Rangeland Management for Plant Cover and Species Composition in Tataouine, Tunisia, Spring", https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11766.1/FK2/ZAJDIV, MELDATA, V10
In southern Tunisia, rangelands are overexploited because the animal needs highly exceed plant production. For most of the skeletal desert soil, the overall vegetation covering oscillates between 1 and 10%; the perennial aerial biomass is lower than 100 kg of dry matter (DM)/ha/y...
