Articoli correlati a Karoo veld: Ecology and management
Karoo veld promotes an ecosystem health approach to veld assessment, recognising that soil, plants, insects and wild animals, work with the land user to sustain the productivity and value of Karoo veld. Karoo veld outlines veld management and assessment approaches for a wide geographical area of arid South Africa, from the vygie veld of Namaqualand, through the Great Karoo to the grassier eastern Karoo. It will assist the practical and ambitious land user to apply ecologically friendly veld management and to evaluate the effects of grazing and restoration on the veld. The title will interest prospective land users who need to estimate the potential and suitability of land for a new enterprise before making the investment, as well as anyone who is curious about the Karoo and its plants and animals. The title is generously illustrated with colour photos, figures and maps. Separate sections deal with Karoo veld ecology, veld management and veld assessment and monitoring. Appendices provide useful information on palatability of common Karoo plants, invasive alien weeds, large stock unit equivalents for small stock and game and a brief picture reference guide to the more common Karoo plants.

Descrizione libro 240 x 210 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. x + 214, incl. index; lavishly illustrated with numerous photographs of plants and representative vegetation communities, maps, diagrams. Near-fine condition. "Land users in the spectacularly wild and open landscape of the Karoo have chosen to earn a living in a harsh and capricious environment. The unpredictability of the weather, together with the unusual vegetation of the region, makes livestock farming and other enterprises more challenging in the Karoo than other parts of South Africa. However, the more we know about how this extraordinary ecosystem works the better we can adapt our management to avoid drought disasters and veld degradation and maintain animal productivity without loss of species diversity and natural resources. The guide provides general management approaches for a wide geographical area, encompassing the vygie veld of Namaqualand in the west, through the mixed veld types of the Great Karoo to the grassier veld types of Cradock and Fauresmith in the east. It has been compiled to assist the practical and ambitious land user to apply ecologically friendly veld management and to evaluate the effects of grazing and restoration on the veld.".
