Vegetation is an essential component of the ecosystem, responsible for regulating water, carbon, energy and nitrogen cycles, among other biogeochemical cycles in the biosphere. Most of life on earth depend on vegetation cover in rangelands for carbon sequestration, grazing material for livestock and wildlife habitats. Essentially, the changes in vegetation cover and condition from month-to-month, and season-to-season have an impact on the livestock productivity and livelihoods of livestock farmers. AfriCultuReS Livestock Service’ Grazing and Rangeland Condition Assessment and Monitoring products provide adequate, and objective information about the current status and productivity of rangelands, hence a critical indicator of the onset of drought conditions, and degradation, and other risks. The information is useful for land managers and policy, and decision makers for effective land-use planning and management.
