Today, in the rangeland management science and determination of range capacity, accurate and true information about range production is crucial. In fact, range production is considered as a basis for range management. The aim of this study was to compare different methods for the estimation of forage production with four sampling methods in the rangelands […]
To find an accurate and rapid method of estimating herbage crop, Double Sampling (DS), Comparative Yield (CY), and clipping and weighing (CW) methods were applied to a summer rangeland in North-eastern Alborz Mountains, Iran. The method was called SMFY (Simulation Model of Forage Yield) to emphasize the statistical aspects of simulated model. In representative stands […]
Proper range management needs an accurate and updated method of rangelands production measurement. In range production measurements, selecting an accurate and low-cost method is very important. In the present study, three estimation methods including Adelaide technique, and double sampling using the 20 and 30% of vegetation cover were compared with clipping and weighing method (as […]
