Abstract

With the multi-purpose use of rangelands, grazing pressure in rangelands can be reduced and
an important step can be taken to preserve Rangeland ecosystems and improve related ecosystem
services. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the priority of multi-purpose use of
vegetation in Koohrang mountain rangeland in terms of livestock grazing, beekeeping and
exploitation of medicinal plants. For this purpose, the class of each plant species for different
types of use was determined and by comparing different classes and considering the good
species (class I and II plants) for livestock grazing; the priority of using any was determined.
Finally, based on the share of types of use for the total number of plant species in the plant
composition, it was decided on the type of multi-purpose use of vegetation. Based on the
results, 178 plant species belonging to 32 families and 138 genera are distributed in the plant
composition of the region. In terms of livestock grazing, respectively 11.79, 29.21, 48.31and
10.67 percent of the species have palatable class I, II, Ш grazable and Ш non-grazable. For
beekeeping, attractive species for beekeeping include plants with good attractiveness (Class I),
medium attractiveness (Class II), low attractiveness (Class III usable) and plants without
attractiveness (Class III unused), respectively 11.79, 49.94, 4.44 and 38.76 percentage of
species in plant composition. Oral and medicinal species, contain about 50% of the plant
composition, which respectively 19.10, 16.85,12.92 and 50 percentage of species have
usefulness classes I, II, Ш pharmaceutically usable and Ш non-pharmacologically useful.
Meanwhile, 18.53% of medicinal plants can be grazed on livestock and are in class I and II in
terms of livestock grazing. In total, 18.53percent of medicinal plants can be grazed and are in
food grade I and II in terms of grazing. The results show that the use of medicinal plants is
effective in the livelihood of beneficiaries and according to the phenology of plant species and
rangeland segmentation, vegetation can be used in the context of multi-purpose use.
