Rangelands are characterized by the vegetation that is remaining in perennial cover due to low suitability for cultivation and annual cropping, although lands that are considered "arable" can still be converted into vegetative perennial cover. Rangelands are also characterized by the diversified outputs categorized as consumptive and non-consumptive and ecosystem services. Consumptive/non-consumptive outputs include meat and fibre (from livestock and wildlife), water quantity and quality, timber & fuel wood, minerals (including oil and gas), recreation, and biodiversity. Ecosystem services include climate amelioration (C-storage to offset greehouse gases), filtering pollutants (phyto-remediation of excess N/P) and maintaining three main functions: Energy flow, nutrient cycling/retention, and hydrologic functions.
