Objective ESTABLISHMENT OF A SCIENTIFIC BASIS FOR MANAGEMENT AND CONSERVATION OF GRAZING LAND IN MOUNTAIN AREAS. THE RESEARCH CONCERN THE GRAZING LANDS OF THE HIGH MIDDLE MOUNTAINS, WHERE NATIVE PLANTS ARE PREDOMINANT. IT ATTEMPTS TO DEFINE THE CONDITIONS OF COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN, ON THE ONE HAND, THEIR USE BY DOMESTIC LIVESTOCK AND FOR RECREATION, ON THE OTHER HAND, THEIR USE BY WILD UNGULATA AND THE CONSERVATION OF THE SOIL AND VEGETATION.

THE WORK WILL BE SUPPLEMENTED BY THE REALISATION OF A SYSTEM IN ORDER TO SERVE THE LONG TERM EVOLUTION OF THE VEGETATION AND THE SOIL IN REGARD TO DIFFERENT MODES OF PASTURAL USE.
