MEX // Los coeficientes de agostadero son permanentes. Se calculan para condiciones naturales, es decir, sin considerar el disturbio provocado por mal uso o mejoras de las condiciones de los sitios evaluados. Tienen carácter legal y son vigentes para determinar el tamaño de la pequeña propiedad ganadera.
Nota: Se estima con base en la condición de un sitio dado, su composición botánica y el estado de productividad que guardaba ese sitio en relación a su potencial (CFAN 1965: 20).
