grazing ecology

Grazing ecology studies how animals like cattle, sheep, or wild herbivores feed on plants and how this impacts the environment. It examines the relationships between grazing animals, plant communities, and ecosystems, including how grazing influences plant growth, soil health, and biodiversity. Proper grazing management can maintain healthy landscapes, prevent overgrazing, and promote sustainable land use. Essentially, it explores the balance between animal feeding habits and maintaining resilient, productive ecosystems.
