Wood species density and canopy cover
The density of woody species varied significantly (ANOVA: F = 146.51, df
= 2, p < 0.001) depending on the grazing management practices
in the study sites. The browsing sites had a higher woody density
compared to the grazing and enclosure sites (refer to Table 1). In
addition, the canopy cover of woody species also differed significantly
(ANOVA: F = 31.45, df = 2, p < 0.001) depending on the grazing
management practices, with lower values observed in the enclosure sites.
Vegetations biomass
Significantly high (ANOVA: F = 9.98, df = 2, p < 0.001)
herbage biomass was found in the enclosure sites than in the other two
grazing management systems (Table 1). However, the woody biomass was
significantly high (ANOVA: F = 13.61, df = 2, p < 0.001) in
the browsing land sites than in the grazing and enclosure sites (Table
1).
