| Abstract | The present study was carried at Theodorou island (68 ha) Crete, the national reserve for the conservation of the endangered Cretan wild goat. A big part of the habitat (39.9 %) was devoid of vegetation. The main vegetation class was shrubs (74.5%) where forbs and grasses represented 24% and 1.5% respectively. The most dominant shrubs throughout the island werePistacia lentiscus, Sarcopoterium spinosum, Thymus capitatus, Euphorbia dendroides, Calycotome villosa andPhlomis fruticosa. The diversity of the plant community (115 species) was estimated to be 3.9.Through the prolonged span of overgrazing, the plant community has been altered to a disclimax community dominated mainly by invader species. In comparison to the past, invaders were increased and decreasers were decreased indicating the retrogression of the plant community and the degradation of the habitat. The range condition of the habitat was slightly poor resulting in problematic survival of the wild goat.The total green biomass production of the whole island was estimated to be 120126 kg, 30 % of this production was not edible. The carrying capacity of the island was estimated to be about 48 adult animals, 17 animals less than in 1973 indicating a visible “ungulate irruption”.Die vorliegende Studie wurde auf der Theodorou-Insel (68ha), Kreta, dem nationalen Schutzgebiet zur Erhaltung der gefährdeten Kretischen Wildziege, durchgeführt. Gro\e Teile des Lebensraums (39.9%) waren vegetationslos. Die dominante Vegetationsklasse waren Sträucher (74,5%), während Kräuter 24% und Gräser 1,5% ausmachten. Die dominierenden Straucharten auf der Insel warenPistacia lentiscus, Sarcopoterium spinosum, Thymus capitatus, Euphorbia dendroides, Calycotome villosa undPhlomis fruticosa. Die Diversität der Pflanzengemeinschaft Pflanzengesellschaft (115 Arten) wurde auf 3,9 geschätzt.Durch die lang andauernde überweidung hat sich die Pflanzengemeinschaft zu einer Disklimax-Gesellschaft gewandelt, in der fremde Arten dominieren. Verglichen mit der Vergangenheit haben sich Adventivpflanzen vermehrt, während einheimische Pflanzen zurückgedrängt wurden, ein Zeichen für die Rückentwicklung der Pflanzengesellschaft und die Degradierung des Lebensraums. Der Zustand des Weidelandes war relativ schlecht, was sein Problem für den Fortbestand der Wildziegen darstellt.Die Biomasseproduktion der Vegetation der Gesamtinsel wurde auf 120126 kg geschätzt, von denen 30% nicht essbar waren. Die Tragfähigkeit der Insel wurde auf 48 erwachsene Tiere geschätzt, 17 weniger als im Jahr 1973, Anzeichen für eine übernutzung durch Huftiere. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
