Complexity in the spatial utilization of rangelands: Pastoral mobility in the Horn of Africa - ScienceDirect

Herd mobility is considered one of the most important components of pastoralist strategies to increase productivity and to have flexibility in responding to riskiness of climatic variability. The effect of positive herd mobility on natural vegetation restoration was confirmed by several authors in other pastoral regions (Fekadu, 2014; Liao, Clark, DeGloria, & Barrett, 2017; Paul, Bah, Ndiaye, & Ndione, 2014). On the other hand, literature reviews have underlined the positive effect of goat grazing on silvopastoral areas by the elimination of hazardous and flammable species. Cookies are used by this site.
