Table 1. Characteristics of 4 pastures on which experimental exclosures and removals were conducted.
Pasture | Pasture Size (km2) | Experiments | Mean Sheep/ha 2009) | Mean Elevation(m) | Mean Slope (°) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pastoralist K | 6.8 | 1,3,4 | 0.05 | 4,223 | 22 |
Pastoralist B | 0.5 | 2.5 | 4.064 | 6 | |
Pastoralist S | 10.1 | 6–11 | 0.15 | 4.155 | 22 |
Pastoralist L | 6.2 | 12 | 0.36 | 4,280 | 16 |
Shown are pasture size, which experiments were located on each, mean density of wintering sheep, and mean elevations and slope of the entire pastures. We were unable to estimate sheep density for Pastoralist B during the experiment.
