Abstract
⺠Methodology was devised to compare range-condition over time irrespective of imagery used. ⺠This was applied to range-condition change mapping in Botswana through 1984-2000. ⺠Results suggest resilience of semi-arid rangelands even under significant grazing pressure. ⺠Persistent degradation in communal areas and ranches is related to high livestock density. ⺠Method useful to improve range-condition monitoring in semi-arid developing countries.
