Description
Abstract
The density of ungulates is assumed to be very high in the SNP. therefore, data on phytomass available for ungulates were needed to get a basis for further discussions of the herbivore-carrying capacity.

Purpose
Status Geometry: Confirmed 12. 2008; exact surveying needed (low priority)
Status Data: Missing
By means of a GIS, the grasslands of the study area were classified  into 41 categories by habitat facotors. (...) In 1996, the green phytomass was assessed at each sample point with a radiometer. In addition, the accuracy of the radiometric technique was nvestigated. Using the data of the radiometric measurements, the phytomass was then modelled for the study area for three scenarios: present, maximum possible and no grazing pressure.
