The effects of vertebrate granivores and folivores on plant community structure in the Chihuahuan Desert

We examined the effects of vertebrate granivores and folivores on winter and summer plant communities in the Chihuahuan Desert by selectively excluding different vertebrate combinations of birds, rodents, and large folivorous mammals from small experimental plots continuously since 1982. Few differences were observed across treatments during the first two yr of the experiment. The influence of ...

Relationship between cover and yield of some range species in steppic region of

Sustainable range management needs the accurate estimation yield and determining of grazing capacity in rangelands. It is easy to obtain yield estimation with indirect methods. For this purpose, the relation between cover and forage yield of range species were studied in steppic rangelands of Yazd. Measurements of cover and forage yield were carried out with plot area and clipping and weighting...
