Body
The persistence of desirable species in a pasture is essential for sustainability and animal production. Therefore, it is necessary to document how grazing and land type (land class) influence the processes of seedling recruitment and plant survival (Orr and Paton 1993). This paper presents interim results from a study which measured the effects of grazing pressure and land class on recruitment and survival of Heteropogon contortus (black speargrass) between 1990 and 1995.
