Abstract
Survey of Pabbi-Rasool rangeland was conducted to assess its vegetation and carrying capacity. Cenchrus ciliaris (Dhaman) was the principal grass sp. (47.85%). General grass coverage on average was 57.01% and 30.27% in protected and open pastures respectively. Dry matter yield of protected pastures was 1316 kg/ha while it was only 388 kg/ha from open pastures. Carrying capacity based on herbage biomass for protected and open pastures was found to be 0.40 and 0.12 AU/ha/yr respectively.
