Possibilities for range devlopment in Cholistan desert as reflected by its physiography and soils

M Shabir Baig, M. Akram and M. Amjad Hassan

ABSTRACT

For the purpose of range development, the Cholistan Desert has been divided, using aerial photographs and supported by adequate ground truthing, into a number of naturally occurring physiographic units which represent homogenous areas on the surface of land with respect to land attributes such as geology, land forms, soils pedoclimate and vegetation. These units have been, on the basis of similar potential, grouped together into range management units have different capabilities and capacities for forage and livestock production and therefore requiring different management practices. Two maps, each showing the distribution and extent of physiographic units and range management units, have been prepared on a scale 1:1,000,000.
