Abstract:
A study of selected herbivores on the Klaserie Private Nature
Reserve, Eastern Transvaal lowveld, was done to investigate
habitat relationships as a means to develop optimum stocking
rates in line with the mean carrying capacity. Use patterns for
eight types of herbivore are analysed and compared with
quantitative botanical data collected by the, then, Transvaal
Provincial Administration (TPA) and subjected to CATMOD analysis.
Guidelines for stocking rates and habitat monitoring are given.
