dc.description.abstractRangelands are important natural resources for the nations with a various measurable and immeasurable outputssuch as forage for farm animals, biological diversity, soil and water conservation and ecosystem functions. However,unconscious exploitation has resulted in weakening, deterioration and exhaustion of these natural resources in time.In achieving an effective, sustainable use at a minimum environmental cost without foregoing economic and socialdevelopment, policy measures towards conscious utilization, conservation and restoration of these resources are ofvital importance. Furthermore, user-friendly, robust policy measures require correct scientific information on theactual utilization of rangelands. The effects of various natural and human induced factors on the rangeland forageyield and its utilization rate were researched in this study. Data were collected from the rangelands of 11 villagesin five districts of Erzurum province, Turkey. Descriptive statistics and mixed effect panel regression models wereused in data analysis. According to the results it was concluded that 1) because of heavy grazing pressure versus lowforage production, high-altitude sites, east and southwest slopes should specifically be given the priority in rangelandrehabilitation studies, 2) drought resistant species should be preferred for the overseeding practices due to the xericnature of southerly slopes, 3) to avoid excessive exploitation and to realize balanced utilization in all rangeland sites,grazing plans should be developed and strictly followed by each village authority, and 4) Heavy grazing pressure onrangelands gets even worse in drought seasons. Therefore, rangelands should be relatively lightly utilized in suchseasons not to cause herbage yield losses and other unwanted outcomes in subsequent years.en_US
