The Maasai herders classified seasonally grazed landscapes using socio-cultural folk systems, soils, topography and vegetation, management knowledge and seasons of grazing.
Local communities harbour important information on valuable plants and vegetation dynamics; their knowledge is fundamental for management strategies aimed at sustainable use and conservation of natural vegetation (Lykke 2000).
An increased understanding of the spatial and temporal scales at which grazing affects vegetation heterogeneity and knowledge of how scale affects the availability of resources and abiotic conditions for arthropods will greatly enhance our understanding of the impact of large herbivores on arthropod diversity.
Moore told me that he was amazed by the residents' specialized knowledge of vegetation and weather patterns, which has been passed down through several generations.
Therefore, the patterns reported by the respondents in this study reveal their in-depth knowledge of vegetation dynamics and livestock feeding habits in Karamoja.
In the period 2000 2002, for every sample plot a PNV-type was reconstructed on the basis of the present site conditions and expert knowledge in vegetation science (Schieler and Hauk, 2001).
The socio-economic knowledge about such vegetation (acceptance, utilization, economic value, etc). is mostly non-existent in many regions.
The indigenous rangeland assessments used knowledge of soils, vegetation, livestock grazing preferences and the suitability of different landscapes to regulate wet- or the dry-season grazing movements.
