Body

Ranges of Aegean Turkey are dominated largely by annual vegetation which is replaced by shrub cover through overuse. Removal of the shrub Poterium spinosum by hand grubbing costs $40/acre and the returns from such improvement will pay for this cost in just over 3 years. Grazing on a range after 2 years protection which was dominated by Hordeum bulbosum was leased at $2.50/A.U.M. This land carried 1.6 A.U.M./acre. There is a great need for a concerted range program; some practical suggestions are made as to how this should be carried out. This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries. The Journal of Range Management archives are made available by the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
