Body
The effect of sheep and rabbits grazing on the vegetation and its regeneration measured in the 275 mm annual rainfall zone on three overgrazed sites between 1968 and 1980. It was found that where the grazing pressure was reduced the natural revegetation slowly developed with the healing of the bare surface in enclosures. In areas where grazing continued the regeneration of herbs and forbs was insignificant or did not occur at all. . . . .
