The effects of traditional grazing practices on upland (Yayla) rangeland vegetation and forage Quality

Öz:

Özet: Türkçede yaylacılık olarak adlandırılan yarı göçer hayvan yetiştirme sistemi, özellikle engebeli bölgelerdeki yüksek rakımlı meraları kullanmanın en iyi yollarından biridir. Yarı göçer otlatma uygulamasının yayla bitki örtüsünün botanik kompozisyonu, toprağı kaplama oranı, toprak agregat stabilitesi ve yemin kimyasal içeriği üzerine etkilerini belirlemek amacıyla üç mera kesimi seçilmiştir. Ortalama buğdaygil oranı 1. kesimde %61,09; II. ve III. kesimlerde sırasıyla %67,04 ve %57,40 olarak belirlenmiştir. Baklagillerin oranı I., II. ve III. mera kesiminde sırasıyla 9611.61, %13.67 ve %18.05 olarak, diğer familyaların oranı ise sırasıyla %27,30, %19,29 ve %24,55 olarak belirlenmiştir. Koyun yumağı {Festuca ovina) tüm kesimlerde dominant bitki türü olmuştur. Toprağı kaplama oranı II. kesimde en yüksek (%38.63), III. kesimde en düşük (%25.80) olarak belirlenmiştir. Mera kalite derecesi I., II. ve III. mera kesimlerinde sırasıyla 39,5,45,8 ve 41,7 olarak belirlenmiş; buna göre mera durum ve sağlık sınıfı I. ve II. kesimde riskli, III. kesimde sağlıksız olarak belirlenmiştir. Toprak agregat stabilitesi II. kesimde diğer kesimlerden daha yüksek olarak belirlenmiştir. Mera kesimlerinde otun ham protein oranı sırasıyla 9612,11, %13,34 ve %12,81; faydalanılabilir potasyum içeriği 962,47, %2,69 ve %2,12; kalsiyum içeriği %0,74, %0,86 ve %0,76; magnezyum içeriği; 2515, 2825 ve 2720 ppm; faydalanılabilir fosfor içeriği 1155, 1392 ve 1203 ppm olarak tespit edilmiştir. Mevcut otlatma yönetimi uygulamaları su kaynağının etrafında ağır otlatma baskısına sebep olmaktadır. Bu yüzden yayla meralarının sürdürülebilir kullanımını sağlamak için yeni su kaynakları geliştirmek ve uygun otlatma yönetimi planlaması gerekmektedir.

Abstract: A seminomadic animal raising system, known as "yaylacılık" in Turkish, is one of the best ways of using upland rangelands, particularly in rough terrain regions. Three rangeland sites were selected to determine the spatial effect of summer grazing distribution on botanical composition, canopy coverage, soil aggregate stability, and forage nutrient content in these range sites. On average, grass covered 61.09% of the total land in site 1, 67.04% and 57.40%, respectively, in sites II and 111. Legume covered 11.61%, 13.67%, and 18.05%, respectively, of the total land in sites I, II, and III. Other families covered 27.30%, 19.29%, and 24.55% of each sites, respectively. Sheep fescue (Festuca ovina) was the dominate species in all sites. The canopy coverage was highest (38.63%) in site II, lowest (25.80%) in site III. The range condition score was 39.5, 45.8, and 41.7, respectively in sites I, II and III. The range condition and health class was at risk in site 1 and II, and unhealthy in site III. Compared to the other sites, soil aggregate stability was higher in site II. Crude protein content was 12.11%, 13.34%, and 12.81%; available K content was 2.47%, 2.69%, and 2.12%; Ca content was 0.74%, 0.86%, and 0.76%; Mg content was 2515, 2825 and 2720 ppm; available P content was 1155, 1392, and 1203 ppm, respectively, in sites I, II, and III. Current grazing management practices leads to overgrazing pressure around water resources; therefore, developing new water resources and a suitable grazing management plan are necessary to provide sustainable use of upland rangelands.
