摘要: We investigated how livestock grazing inside the Barandabhar corridor forest (lowland in south-central part of Nepal) affects plant community structure and standing biomass grassland this area. There were 2,432 domestic animals regularly natural habitats. As much as 73% area is grazed by livestock, which resulted competition between wild ungulates for food. Grazed areas differed from ungrazed species composition structure. In areas, was higher, proportion barren ground smaller number larger compared with areas. Livestock also affected herbaceous plants grasses. order to restore these degraded grasslands, needs be reduced establishing public local people.
