ABSTRACT
An area of two hectare was fenced in July, 1976 at Jaba,
District Mansehra to find out the effect of protection
on the vegetation. In October, 1980. Changes in the vegetation characteristics inside and outside the
closure were compared. Average air dry forage production
increased nine times due to closure, this increase was
both for grasses and forbs. The percent cover of grasses
and forbs increased 21/2 times inside as compared with
that of outside the closure. The grazing capacity due to
closure increased 7 times of the grazed area.
