Effect of protection on some of the natural vegetation properties within the pastures of Beir Ayyad – Libya


Abstract in English

The Libyan pastures have been subjected to continuous overgrazing, which inflicts a great deal of damage to the vegetation cover, on both quantitative and qualitative levels, as well as to the live-stock production. To clarify the effect of protection on some characteristics of the natural vegetation cover, two regions have been studied: A protected region and another adjacent unprotected region, which is subjected to irregular grazing.
