In recent decades, global savanna and grassland ecosystems have become more prominent in the literature focused on global change dynamics. Savanna and grasslands represent unique biomes with their own challenges, both in terms of their study and in terms of their complexity, leading to many contradictory and often controversial findings. The global threats to these systems are potentially significant, from climate change impacts to human management challenges, from possible degradation to complete desertification, which vary across disturbance regime shifts. This Special Issue of Applied Sciences, ?Dynamics of Global Savanna and Grassland Biomes?, is intended for a wide and interdisciplinary audience, and covers recent advances in: - drivers of vegetation dynamics - further understanding carbon interactions in these critical landscapes - advances in modeling both current and future system states - tipping points in savanna systems - human-environment interactions and challenges for management - biodiversity and ecosystem services 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $aclimate change 610 $aSAVANNA 610 $asimulation 610 $ascenarios 610 $alivestock 610 $arangeland productivity 610 $aCO2 effects 610 $aremote sensing 610 $avegetation dynamics 610 $asavanna landscapes 610 $anational parks 610 $aconservation 610 $atemperate meadow steppe 610 $agrassland degradation 610 $abiomass 610 $avegetation 610 $acommunity characteristics 610 $aenclosure 610 $arestoration 610 $amanagement 610 $apolicy options 610 $aneotropical savannas 610 $awoody conversion 610 $asupport vector machine classification 610 $aland cover change 610 $aprotected areas 610 $aPayne's Creek National Park 610 $aendemism 610 $afloristics 610 $anomadic 610 $ayaks 610 $aculture 610 $aaltitude 610 $awatersheds 610 $arivers 610 $abiodiversity 610 $agrassland management 610 $aland degradation 610 $arodents 610 $apolicy 610 $ainterventions 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aSouthworth$b Jane$4edt$01309862 702 $aHerrero$b Hannah$4edt 702 $aSouthworth$b Jane$4oth 702 $aHerrero$b Hannah$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557718503321 996 $aDynamics of the Global Savanna and Grassland Biomes$93029673 997 $aUNINA
