| Description | The hydrological cycle, which determines the water balance of the grazing ecosystem, is discussed. This cycle can be separated into a number of intermediate processes, each of which influences the water balance. These intermediate processes include surface runoff, evapotranspiration, percolation, infiltration and the storage of water in the ecosystem. Practical guidelines to increase the effectivity of the available rainfall for aboveground phytomass production, in arid and semi-arid regions, are discussed. Die hidrologiese siklus, wat in ’n aantal intermediere prosesse verdeel kan word en wat in groot mate die inset-tot-uitsetverhouding of waterbalans van die weidingekosisleem bepaal, word bespreek. Die intermediêre prosesse omvat oppervlakafloop, evapotranspirasie, perkolasie, infiltrasie en die opberging van water in diesisteem. Praktiese riglyne vir die verhoging van die effektiwiteit van die reënval, beskikbaar vir die bogrondse fitomassaproduksie in ariede en semi-ariede gebiede, word bespreek. | |
