“…With the intensity of grazing, the distribution of the species may occur in the rangeland vegetation, which may be against the tasty species (Short and Woolfolk, 1956;Koc et al, 2008;Güllap, 2010;Severoglu and Gullap, 2020;Surmen and Kara, 2018) and thus an increase in the rate of plant species that are not desired by animals can be seen (Allred et al, 2012;Bremm et al, 2016;Erkovan et al, 2016). Indeed, the forest edge rangeland subjected to intense grazing pressure in the research area had a higher proportion of other families than other rangeland sites.…”

In this study conducted in Erzurum province's Oltu district Kırdağı location during 2015, 2016 and 2017 concerning the above forest, forest interior and forest edge rangeland sites, the botanical composition of rangeland sites, canopy coverage rate, rangeland condition scores, and comparison of the condition of rangeland and the health class were emphasized. According to the results, although the grass and legume rations in the forest edge rangeland was lower, the others families' ratio was higher than that of the other sites. Hence, it was determined that the ratio of canopy coverage rate was higher in the forest top rangelandsite compared to other sites. Consequently, the health class of the rangeland is in the risky class in the forest edge site. Rangeland status class, which is a comparison of vegetation for climax, was found to be weak in this site. As a result, these values clearly indicate that the forest edge rangeland was seriously damaged compared to the other sites.

Rangelands, which have rich plant and animal biodiversity, are also very important as a source of roughage for livestock. Rangeland vegetation patterns vary considerably under the influence of environmental factors. Indicator factors need to be identified and analyzed in order to manage conservation and utilization objectives. In rangelands of the Aegean region, the slope factor can greatly affect the rangeland plant biodiversity in areas close to the base rangeland. In order to investigate the spatial distribution and species variation in plant biodiversity caused by slope, 6 rangeland sections with different slopes were sampled in Koçarlı region (Aydın / Türkiye). Sampling was carried out using the transect method in the spring 2017 based on field observations. Following sampling, indicator species and species distribution and abundance were determined. Alpha biodiversity indices were used to determine the change in species biodiversity by SHE analysis. SHE analysis tests the relationship between S (species richness), H (Shannon-Wiener diversity index) and E (equality). This method aims to examine the contribution of the number of species and the concept of equity in the context of diversity. According to the information obtained as a result of the analysis, it was seen that the increase in slope may cause a decrease in species biodiversity. More species diversity was found in rangelands with low base and slope. Factors such as erosion and water transport affect the canopy and species abundance in high slope rangelands. However, other factors such as grazing intensity can reverse this situation. For this purpose, it has been determined that slope is an important environmental variable when preparing management plans based on grazing capacity and grazing animal species in vegetation studies.

With this study, the current situation in terms of forage crop cultivation in Muş province and offered solutions for the problems are discussed. The agroecological characteristics of the province and its current situation regarding forage crop cultivation have been investigated. Although most of the roughage requirement is met in the province of Muş, whose economy is based on livestock, it is determined that the number of forage plant species grown in the province is small, and the yield is low. The first thing that should be initiated in the province of Muş is quality and sustainable forage cultivation. All animal breeders should be informed about the importance of roughage to livestock. Concerning the current problems in the province, the solutions of narrowing the fallow areas by increasing forage crop cultivations areas with suitable crop alternations, increasing the use of certified seeds for quality production, reducing the grazing pressure on the meadow range, and providing necessary information at every stage of forage crop cultivation were offered for more and higher quality production. s
