Description
The dynamics of Agrostis-Festuca-Nardus. grasslands and Calluma heathlands with broom on plots with different ratio of area covered by each community type and grazed either by cattle or sheep were monitored during summers of 1990 and 1991. Significant differences were observed. Cattle grazed Nard11s more intensively than sheep and Cai tuna cover . was more, slrongly affected by cattle than sheep grazing. Brooms were grazed intensively by sheep but were rejected by cattle.
