“…Grazing alters plant diversity through mechanisms that influence local plant colonization ability and extinction dynamics (Olff and Ritchie, 1998;Alofs et al, 2014). Consequently, management of grazing has become a crucial component in efforts to restore or maintain biodiversity in particular habitats such as floodplains (Olff and Ritchie, 1998;Schaich et al, 2010). Grazing can influence species richness at both the local scale (plant neighbourhood) and the regional scale (spatial range of an individual).…”

“…Cattle grazing provides high patchiness and heterogeneity in vegetation, which is beneficial for the conservation of species richness and habitat mosaics (Metera et al, 2010). The effect of cattle grazing is highly dependent on the type of grazer, duration of grazing, vegetation type and it is influenced by the grazing intensity (Schaich et al, 2010;Török et al, 2014). Traditional herding of local cattle breeds and free grazing are both considered as promising tools to achieve conservation goals in Europe.…”

“…The cattle grazing impacts at different proximities from villagesforest boundaries were quantified through cattle dung count using belt transects following the methods of Schaich et al (2010). Domestic animals such as cattle, goat, sheep and buffalo graze freely in the sanctuary.…”
