Abstract

Cadiz Province, Andalusia, has the highest density of breeding Griffon vultures (Gyps fulvus) in Spain. Due to changes in carcass removal policy and extensive livestock farming, there is a need for assessing food availability for the species. The amount of dead biomass in wet and dry season was determined by using livestock census data and information from the farmers. Spatial analysis tools were applied for the redistribution of livestock within present land cover classes. The total available biomass significantly differs between seasons, 31%. On average, 56% less of biomass is available in the field than before carcass removal is applied.
