  Investigating rangeland vegetation cover and yield changes in relation to precipitation fluctuations is considered as an important factor which can be affected on range ecosystem analysis, grazing management, rehabilitation and reclamation programs. In this research, the precipitation fluctuations on rangeland vegetation cover and yield of steppic rangelands was considered in Nadoushan-Yazd province. For investigating cover and precipitation effect, three main species were selected and measured. Based on palatability, yield has been measured in random plots. Finally, statistical analysis was conducted by using stepwis regression techniques. Results showed the most dominant species reacted to precipitation fluctuations. Erotia ceratoides cover showed positive regression with recent precipitation whereas Stipa barbata and Artemisia sieberi cover had related with January to March precipitation. Basically, precipitation has the most effect on whole vegetation particularly class III plants and growth season besides winter season caused production in class II and I respectively.
