Abstract
Veld condition refers to the condition of vegetation in relation to specific functional characteristics, typically forage production and resistance to soil erosion (Trollope, Trollope, and Bosch 1991). The purpose of assessing veld condition is to determine the current condition of the vegetation and to use this information to formulate veld management practices such as stocking rates, grazing and browsing management, rotational resting, and veld burning.
