What happens to a rangeland if it is under grazed?
Well, think of it this way: it's better to have native rangeland undergrazed than overgrazed. However sometimes if it's undergrazed the animals may be chewing down the more succulent forage which could be "decreasers" or plants that decrease in population if grazed too much. But this is an unlikely possibility, since the grasses will be able to get ahead of their grazers and deposit their seeds. Hence if it is undergrazed, livestock can only eat so much before the grasses get ahead of them and begin inflorescence and then senescence. Native grasses, though, should be grazed AFTER they have formed seeds (past the flowering stage), since if they are grazed before this time, they could (and will) decrease in populatoin. Some native grasses tend to be more vulnerable at this stage, and are better left to grow than to be grazed down. But it all depends on the grasses you have on your range, where you live, those sort of things to determine the proper stocking rate for the rangeland.
Did spanish ranchers graze cattle or horses on the grasses of the haciendas?
Yes, they also mined for silver and gold when there was still gold.
Grasses are vulnerable to the grazing of animals Which adaptation helps grasses avoid serious damage from being grazed upon?
stems that grow from the base rather than at the tip /\ 1..grasses grow very fast and spread quickly to cover a big area so even if they are fed upon by animals(herbivorours), they still grow back very fast.. 2..the general structure of grasses helps them adopt to grazing for instance they have flexible stem that enable them to get back to their original positions after being stepped on by animals.. 3..some grasses are poisonous for instance the lantana camara, some have a sticky substance that makes digestion in animals hard.. 4..some grasses take up the shape of poisonous snakes to keep away animals for instance the snake grass.. 5..grasses grow both n the surface and underground so even if the upper part is eaten by animals,the lower part can still grow back... to be continued
How can rangeland be managed sustainably?
Graze your livestock responsibly. That means no over-grazing and no over-stocking your pastures. Keep an eye on how much your animals are taking off, how much should be left and when to put them in or pull them out. Also know what grasses you have in your pastures so you know when the best times are to graze. Cool-season native grasses shouldn't be grazed until after September or October, and cool-season tame grasses should be grazed when they are in the vegetative stage. Warm-season grasses should also be grazed in their vegetative stage. And remember to give rest periods to your pastures: at least 30 days for most periods of grazing. Less for growing periods, more for non-growing periods or when drought is around.
Evidence shows that some grasses bebefit from being grazed Which of the followinq terms would best describes this plant-herbivore interaction?
Mutualism, they both benefit.
What are some grassland animals adaptation?
Well, Giraffes are a pretty easy one. their long necks allow them to reach the un-grazed upper branches of tall trees.
Is grass greener in areas where cow graze?
Yes, if the pasture is managed properly so that the grasses get significant rest after being grazed. The feces and urine from the cattle that have grazed there add fertilizer to the soil that the grasses grow, and the grazing action also encourage vigorous foliage growth in well-managed pastures. However, the grass is not greener in areas where the cows have just been pulled off of (i.e., the very day the cows are switched to a new pasture), or if the pasture has been severely overgrazed due to poor pasture management.
How tall does grass have to be for a cow to eat it?
The optimum height for most grass species that are suited to grazing during their growing vegetative stage (which accounts for most tame or non-native grasses) is 10 inches. For most native grasses, they can be grazed at any height above 10 inches so long as you are grazing them AFTER their growth period.
What is the duration of She Grazed Horses on Concrete?
The duration of She Grazed Horses on Concrete is 1.3 hours.
What are some Learned behaviors of cows?
Cows learn where to go for water, when milking time is (for dairy cows), when it's time to switch to a better pasture (for cows that are being rotationally grazed), what feed and grasses are the best to eat, etc.
When was She Grazed Horses on Concrete created?
She Grazed Horses on Concrete was created on 1982-12-22.
Grasses are capable of regeneration in spite of continuous grazing by cattle suggest the reason for it?
Grasses' growth points (apical meristems) are at ground level, at a point where animals like cattle are unable to rip up. Tillers also start at ground level, and will sprout when the parent plant seneces or dies off. Tillers are developed as the parent plant reaches maturity, and when the next growing season begins or the time begins for grasses to regrow after being grazed.
