متن کاملRestoration of Degraded Semi-Arid Communal Grazing Land Vegetation Using the Exclosure Model
Degradation of communal grazing land vegetation is a widespread problem throughout sub Saharan Africa and its restoration is a challenge for the management of many semi-arid areas. This study assessed the effectiveness of different age (young versus old) exclosures on species composition and diversity, biomass production and woody structure in northern Ethiopia. The species composition and dive...
متن کاملIxodid ticks on indigenous goats owned by small-scale farmers in four communal grazing areas in South Africa.

متن کاملPlant species and functional groups response to exclosure in Lazour rangeland of Tehran province
The study of vegetation dynamics under grazed and non-grazed rangelands is one of the most important prerequisites for range improvement. In this research, vegetation composition and the vegetation functional groups were compared in an exclosure site (livestock excluded for six years) and grazed area in semi-steppe rangelands in Tehran province. Systematic random sampling technique through the...
