The main objectives of this study were to investigate the influence of grazing intensity on the palatability of the herbage and how bush encroachment is related to long-term grazing pressure. Herbage palatability was assessed as the weighted palatability composition of the vegetation considering palatability classes and the abundance of herbaceous and woody plant species. Grazing intensity as a management factor was estimated based on the livestock number of different grazing areas. To this end, 43 main plots were sampled in the rangeland areas of two catchments in the south-east of Kermanshah. High grazing intensity was negatively associated with biomass, species richness, herbaceous cover and palatability. Furthermore, the results indicated that encroachment of the rangeland by shrubs and invader species probably resulted from overgrazing. The results hint at overgrazing as a main factor for decreased palatability of the herbage in rangelands in Kermanshah."],["dc.identifier.gro","3147920"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/5252"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.publisher","EGF"],["dc.relation.conference","24th General Meeting of the European Grassland Federation"],["dc.relation.crisseries","Grassland Science in Europe"],["dc.relation.eventend","2012-06-07"],["dc.relation.eventlocation","Lublin, Poland"],["dc.relation.eventstart","2012-06-03"],["dc.relation.isbn","978-83-89250-77-3"],["dc.relation.ispartof","Grassland – a European Resource?

In this investigation, we analysed the interaction of soil and topographic variables, management and range condition against the background of a sociological survey of livestock owners in western Iran to better understand the main influencing factors of rangeland quality in the area. In four grazing areas in Kermanshah differing in grazing pressure, environmental variables and livestock owners’ perceptions on range condition, investigations of botanical composition, soil and topographic variables were carried out on 43 main plots. To evaluate range condition, four factors were considered, namely litter frequency, herbage palatability, amount of biomass, and percentage of bare soil. A questionnaire was used to obtain information about management practices, the perception of livestock owners on range condition and suggested solutions to problems in the different grazing areas. The range condition scores showed that the condition of the sites was either fair or poor. Of the soil and topographic factors, only north-facing aspect explained part of the variation in range condition scores. High grazing intensity was associated with poor range condition. To improve the rangeland condition, measures influencing water availability and a reduction of grazing pressure seem to be more relevant in the study area than fertilisation or seeding."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1071/rj09022"],["dc.identifier.gro","3149193"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/5848"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Isselstein Crossref Import"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.relation.issn","1036-9872"],["dc.title","Rangeland condition in relation to environmental variables, grazing intensity and livestock owners' perceptions in semi-arid rangeland in western Iran"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

A measure of grazing intensity was obtained from livestock census data of the different grazing areas.

Of the measured environmental variables, altitude was the single one that showed a significant linear correlation with species richness. Furthermore, only the amount of K, the percentage cover of stones, and north-facing aspect were related with species composition.
