These types of indicators reflect landscape-grazing potential (LGP), sensitivity to grazing pressure and the utility values for livestock.
For the majority of parameters the concentrations are most conservative for aquaculture (i.e. most stringent; generally, the lowest concentration values) with the least conservative values for livestock (Tables 1, 2).
Species composition change is likely to be an important mechanism altering grassland production and its value for grazing livestock, especially in drier rangelands with woody shrub invasion.
The evidence from East Africa provided by Oba and Kaitira (2006) suggests that descriptions of landscape degradation in terms of loss of grazing value for the livestock might be more relevant than a general statement about rangeland degradation associated with pastoral land use.
Several business ventures are currently being tried including a small shop in the county town, community-based tourism, value-adding for livestock products and handicraft development.
While the value of livestock grazing for managing rangeland vegetation to reduce fire fuel loads and improve wildlife habitat is increasingly recognized by resource management professionals, public concerns, and conflict between recreationist and livestock have led to reductions in public land grazing.
Appropriate steps to prevent and/or reduce intra- and inter-species transmission of influenza A viruses at fairs should be undertaken to protect animal and human health while considering short- and long-term implications for the cultural value of livestock exhibitions.
Mature scattered trees were appreciated mostly for their tangible values (especially shade for livestock) while old trees were appreciated for their intangible values (e.g. age, beauty and relaxation, cultural identity).
Livestock production Gross revenue from livestock sold, value of livestock slaughtered, livestock gifts received and milk sold.
