  Introduction: Gazella subgutturosa, which is herbivorous and ruminating mammals, is one of theartiodactyls in Iran. This species is one of the most important herbivorous species of Iranian plain. It isalso distributed in some protected area like Sorkhe-hesar national Park. The aim of this project wasdetermination of Nutritional carrying capacity of habitat and amount of available forages in criticalseason by using cutting and weighing method.Methods: Primary observations have been performed for determination of habitat restrictions andmonitoring tracks of this species. Therefore total monitoring tracks for this species was measured 44Km. Then these tracks have been visited daily and exact points for species presenting were recordedby GPS. In addition, herbaceous species, which are feed by Gazella subgutturosa were identified andalso listed by direct observation. Dried weight and density of herbaceous species which were grazedby Gazella subgutturosa were detected and biomass of Gazella subgutturosa habitat was calculated aswell.In next section, nutritional carrying capacity of Gazella subgutturosa in critical period was measuredby using animal units and daily requirement of Gazella subgutturosa to feeding. Cutting andweighting method and direct observation were also used for this measurement.Discussion: At the end of this project, 15 herbaceous species from 8 classes, which are using byGazella subgutturosa and wild sheep, have been identified. Furthermore it is recognized that Poaceaewith 8 species have most diversity in Gazella subgutturosa diet. To sum up, total carrying capacity forGazella subgutturosa protection in this area has been calculated 56 and 107 units with and withoutcompetitor’s assumption respectively. Manuscript profile

  An initial knowledge of Dietetics and range quality is essential for determining of Gazella subgutturosa habitat nutritional carrying capacity and sustainable range management, for this aim a study was designed in which changes in forage quality that consumed by gazelle. The study was conducted in Kalmand-Bahadoran protected area, Yazd Province, Food preference was also investigated by direct observation, stomach content analysis. The result revealed that,Artemisia sieberi, Tecrium polinim,Salsola tomentosa, Stipagrostis plumose are of the main food preference for Persian gazelle. Protein contents of each consumed plant species was estimated by utilizing Kjeldal method. This study showed that A.siberihas the maximum rate of protein almost 11.37 percent. Despite high amount of protein in A. siberi, it could not provide food needed for Gazella subgutturosa Manuscript profile
