Title
Rangeland Assessment of the Wakhan Corridor Study Areas - Results from the 2007 Field Season
Author(s)
Bedunah, D.J.
Abstract
The WCS Rangeland Team undertook a major assessment of the Big Pamir and Little Pamir rangelands in 2007 to establish areas important for pastoralists and sites where livestock and wild ungulates compete for forage. This report documents their main findings from rangeland mapping using vegetation indices and supervised classification methods, and includes a discussion on plant cover/community types and rangeland degradation issues, with an outline for future rangeland conservation goals.
