Pathways For Positive Cattle-Wildlife Interactions In Semi-Arid Rangelands, Kari E. Veblen Jan 2011

Pathways For Positive Cattle-Wildlife Interactions In Semi-Arid Rangelands, Kari E. Veblen

Kari E. Veblen

Livestock-wildlife interactions in rangelands are often viewed in terms of competition, but livestock and native ungulates can also benefit each other through long- term modifications of rangeland habitats. Here we synthesize research on rangelands in central Laikipia focusing on two types of cattle-wildlife interactions that have implications for their long-term coexistence. The first interaction occurs via redistribution of soil nutrients within the ecosystem, which is a consequence of the use of bomas (temporary corrals) to manage livestock. Our studies on two different soil types show that rotational boma management creates hectare-scale patches in the landscape that are enriched in soil …
