Abstract

The study was conducted in the Köşk and Büyükdere neighborhoods, affiliated with the Yakutiye and Pasinler districts of Erzurum Province, where grazing is practiced at three different intensities (light, moderate, and heavy). The research was carried out in the year 2022, and botanical composition, soil coverage, range condition score and range condition and health class were analyzed in the study. In the study, the difference between grasses and other family ratios in botanical composition, excluding the legume ratio, was statistically significant. It was determined that an increase in grazing intensity led to a decrease in soil cover ratio and range condition score. Additionally, differences in range condition and health class were observed among range sites grazed at different intensities.
