Rangeland availability,use of the flora and land ownership in el Toro Gorge (Rosario de Lerma Department,Salta Province,Argentina)
The River Bull Gorge is located in the Eastern Cordillera of the Salta Province, in a NW‐SE direction, at an altitude of 1700 m.It is located between Campo Quijano (24°55′S,65°37′W), 1520 m.a.s.l.and Las Cuevas (24°21′4.9″S, 66°1′27.9″W),3250 m.a.s.l.The vegetation (Western Monte and Puna) is correlated with the rainfall, which is concentrated between December and March, diminishing quickly within a few kilometers to the North West because of the topography.In Campo Quijano the annual average rainfall is 1052 mm, Ing.Maury 98 mm, Gobernador Sol 68 mm and Puerta de Tastil 67 mm (Bianchi and Yaez,1992 ; Morello, 1958 ; Ruthsatz, 1977).Cattle are grazed on the highland rangelands in summer and the lowlands in winter.The research objectives were : 1.To determine the condition and value of the rangeland in the study area.2.To register the uses of the flora by the local people.3.To analyze the cause of the decrease of livestock and its relation to the incentives given by the government for raising cattle and land ownership.
