Rangeland Data Collection Protocol: For Evaluation of Ecological Parameters for the CBRLM Program in Northern Namibia Conducted by IPA
(2020)
Abstract
Methods description written by Dr. Brien E. Norton, Department of Wildland Resources, Utah State University.
On-ground ecological sampling was conducted in 38 Rangeland Intervention Areas (RIAs) along an 800km transect running East to West; 19 were treatment RIAs and 19 were control RIAs. IPA predicted that 123 Grazing Areas (GAs) within the 38 RIAs could participate in the CBRLM program based on pre-program indicators, and these GAs were targeted for data collection, including ecological parameters. Of the 123 GAs, 52 were located in 19 treatment RIAs and a corresponding 71 GAs lay within 19 control RIAs and therefore served as controls.
