The scouts describe livestock grazing suitability, landscape grazing potential, threats of degradation, loss of key forage species; they specify the season of livestock grazing that is most preferred (i.e. wet, dry or drought years) 7. Ecologists and herder scouts jointly describe range conditions, while the scouts describe trends 8.
GS, grazing suitability; LGP, landscape grazing potential; WC, woody cover; GP, grazing pressure; VH, very high; H, high.
kWhite oomaar landscape with gray soils showing the presence of limestone GS, grazing suitability; LGP, landscape grazing potential; WC, woody cover; GP, grazing pressure; VH, very high; H, high.
In addition, open meadows occurring in valley bottoms, open forests on shallow soils, and grassland balds on windswept ridge tops greatly enrich the grazing potential of the forest.
Potential summer carrying capacity, based on forage availability, increased from eight to 28 elk/100 km2 within burned areas, whereas spring grazing potential rose from 13 to 45 elk/100 km2.
The potential effects of this large-scale shift are greater risk for evergreen (Juniperus virginiana) woodland fires, reduced grazing potential, and increased abundance of woodland adapted species at the expense of the native grassland biota.

However, unlike grazing suitability, which varies over time, landscape-grazing potential is a permanent feature.
In addition, pastoralists used key-plant species to assess landscape-grazing suitability and soils to assess landscape-grazing potential.
These types of indicators reflect landscape-grazing potential (LGP), sensitivity to grazing pressure and the utility values for livestock.
These include rotational and continuous stocking, creep grazing, first-last grazing, sequence grazing, strip grazing, buffer grazing, frontal grazing, mob-grazing, intensive cell-grazing, and many others.
Our assumption to base our estimates of bioenergy potentials on current (grazing areas) or potential (cropland) NPP (section 2.5; other recent studies [68,69] used similar assumptions) is also a simplification that might result in over- or underestimation of the potential.
