dc.description.abstractThis paper provides basic information on the effects of grazing around the charcoal damat Wami Sokoine grazing lands in Mvomero district. Livestock grazing have enormous effect on vegetation composition and structure of grasslands. Different grazing regimes have different ecological outcomes in different ecosystems. The present study determined the effect of grazing close to watering point on herbaceous vegetation composition and structure. Data collected include species composition and distribution, canopy cover percentage, height and root structure of herbaceous species.Results indicated negative impacts grazing close to the watering point on species composition and structure. Grazing pressure and trampling thought to be the cause of few species with the lowest mean of height, root depth and branching in area close to the watering point. More studies are required to understand dynamics of herbaceous species around watering points in grazing areas at different seasons of the year.
