Potential herb layer production and grazing effects in anthropogenic savannahs in the moist tropical forests of the Western Ghats of India [1]

Additional image::

The moist tropical forests of the Western Ghats of India are pockmarked with savanna-grasslands created and managed by local agricultural communities. A sample of such savanna-grasslands with differing growing conditions was studied in terms of peak above-ground biomass, monthly growth and cumulative production under different clipping treatments.
