Re‐generation ecology of Cymbopogon jwarancusa and Chrysopogon aucheri grassland in Highland Balochistan,Pakistan

摘要：

Chrysopogon aucheri and Cymbopogon j w arancusa are the dominant bunchgrasses in grassland ecosystems of highland Balochistan.These grasses are found on a wide variety of soils over a wide range of elevations and play an important role in ecosystem level processes ( Carney, 1989 ).Both species provide the major source of forage for small ruminants.Overgrazing, coupled with human disturbances has degraded most of these grasslands.Management strategies aimed at reversing the degradation of Cymbopogon‐Chrysopogon grasslands require an understanding of many aspects of plant ecology and recruitment (Schoot, 1995).
