dc.description.abstractThe report analyzes rangeland features and management in terms of livestock needs, socio-cultural conditions, feed availability, and climate. Guidelines are provided for assessing overgrazing or under-utilization of a rangeland, along with factors that can affect the mode of rangeland use by livestock. Several techniques for increasing the productivity of the rangeland were investigated (deferring grazing, shrubs planting, reseeding, fertilizer application, scarification), some of which show significant results. Table 5 shows recommended shrub species according to agroecological attributes and soil conditions. It is important to "read" the state of a rangeland through the observation of vegetation and soil.en
