Rangeland suitability for grazing sheep, goats and wildlife in rangeland of Lar Absar in Mazandaran
Background and objectives: Rangeland suitability for livestock grazing is assessed by scoring criteria for vegetation, water resources and soil erosion. In this study, the suitability of Lar Absar rangeland in Mazandaran province for grazing domestic animals and herbivorous wildlife grazing was investigated. Many researchers have examined pasture suitability for grazing cattle, sheep, goats, an...
متن کاملRangeland zoning for sheep and goats common grazing in the Darmian Basin (South Khorasan Province)
Considering the poor condition of most rangelands of Iran, evaluation of rangeland potential and determination of suitability for continuous and optimal utilization seems necessary. The purpose of this study was to investigate the rangeland suitability for sheep and goat grazing using FAO and GIS methods. Therefore, three criteria including vegetation cover, water, and soil were studied. The ...
متن کاملMineral Composition and Anti- nutritional Components of Shrubs: Rangeland Species from the Upland Balochistan, Pakistan
Little of the rangeland resources of Balochistan, Pakistan have been assessed and there is little to no information on how abiotic factors such as soil type and topography infl uence the nutritive value of native species. Leaf nitrogen concentrations in all species showed broadly similar patterns of change with season. In all species, non-protein nitrogen (NPN) accounted for more than 35-50% of...
متن کاملPhysical impact of sheep grazing on arid Karoo subshrub/grass rangeland, South Africa
________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Grazing levels and rotational schemes need to be tailored to each individual farm or pasture, and more studies are needed on the resilience of rangelands and on separating the effects of grazing and climate. The direct short-term impact of three rates of stocking (4, 8 and 16 Small Stock Units-SSU/ha) was ...
متن کاملInfluence of livestock grazing on C sequestration in semi-arid mixed-grass and short-grass rangelands.
We evaluated the effects of livestock grazing on C content of the plant-soil system (to 60 cm) of two semi-arid grasslands: a mixed-grass prairie (grazed 12 years), and a short-grass steppe (grazed 56 years). Grazing treatments included season-long grazing at heavy and light stocking rates, and non-grazed exclosures. Significantly higher soil C (0-30cm) was measured in grazed pastures compared ...
