ABSTRACT
This study was conducted in Eldebeibat area which belongs to Eldeling locality- South Kordofan State. The
main objective of this study was to study the effective practices of rangeland improvement in the area, at
different grazing sites represented by clay, sand and gardud. Three sample plots of 1x1Km were located at
each site based on releve method, within each plot seven transects 100 m long each, were marked randomly
in each plot. Five quadrats were located at twenty meter intervals along each transect.
Quantitative and qualitative vegetation measurements were conducted at two rainy seasons (2007-2008),
including plant composition, frequency, plant cover percentage, biomass productivity and carrying
capacity.
Ten soil samples were taken from each site for determination of soil organic matter percentage and soil
seed bank and trees density was assessed using the nearest individual method, based on five points marked
at 20 meter intervals along each transect. In addition to these socioeconomic aspects of rangeland use was ...
