Techniques currently used to assess range condition in the grassland biome of Southern Africa are reviewed. These indices were then used to evaluate each method in terms of sensitivity, index interpretation and efficiency, bearing in mind the objectives of each technique. The weighted key species method and degradation gradient method were found to currently provide the best indices for assessing range condition, and in this article the shortcomings of the techniques are recognized and suggestions are made for the application of these methods in different vegetation types; Techniques currently used to assess range condition in the grassland biome of southern Africa are reviewed. The methods were used to calculate range condi...
