Investigation of Factors Affecting the Early Spring Migration of nomads in Fars Province
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Iran is located in an area where geographically andtopographicallymost of its land cannot be planted. Because of the high difference inaltitude between plain lands and mountainous regions and also climate diversity, the nomads can use variousareas with regular motivations according to the seasonnecessities.One of the most important reasons in attracting attention for the migration time and the livestock entering date to summer and winter pastures, is the amount of the off-season grazing effects on rangelands. One of the destructive factors of vegetation especially in the summer pastures is early grazing, which causes the carbonate hydrate reserves of rangeland plants (especially grasses and annual and perennial forbs) to be declined sharply and damaged the plants.In this research, we have tried to identify the main factors affecting on early spring migration (winter to summer pastures) and measure their relative importance (priority). In terms of importance degree (more to less), respectively the number of wanderer livestock holders, lack of forage in the winter pastures, common (cohabitating) using of summer pastures, lack of drinking water in the winter pastures, the absence of nomadic roads and spring-autumn rangelands, the lack of security of nomadic roads, the presence of Stipa capensis species, temperature increasing, drought, livestock carriage by car and the presence of Sisboo insect(Oestrus ovis.) can be mentioned.
