domestic sheep influence

Domestic sheep influence refers to the way sheep impact their environment and ecosystems. As grazers, they help shape vegetation patterns, which can promote biodiversity by preventing overgrowth of certain plants. Sheep also contribute nutrients to the soil through their waste, supporting plant growth. However, excessive grazing can lead to land degradation, soil erosion, and loss of native plant species. Their impact varies depending on grazing intensity, landscape, and management practices. Understanding sheep influence helps in developing sustainable land use and livestock management strategies that balance agricultural needs with environmental health.
