The study of the relationships between annual rainfall and range production in the Mediterranean Basin and the Sahelian Sudanian tropical zones of Africa shows a close correlation between average range production and average rainfall over large geographic areas. For a given amount of rain, net production is higher in the Mediterranean than in the Sahel. The regressions developed show that, on the average, each millimeter of rainfall produces 2 kg/ha of consumable dry matter, or 0.66 Scandinavian Feed Units (FU), in the Mediterranean, whereas in the Sahelian and Sudanian zones these figures drop to 1 kg/ha and 0.40 FU.
