Why do holly bushes have more spikes the bottom?

Holly bushes typically have more spikes at the bottom as a defense mechanism to deter animals from grazing on their lower branches. The spikes act as a deterrent to animals trying to feed on the shrub, protecting the plant from potential damage.


Why is the soil so nutrient-rich in savannas?

Savannas have nutrient-rich soil due to a combination of factors, such as frequent fires that release nutrients back into the soil, seasonal rainfall patterns that help to maintain soil fertility, and the decomposition of plant material that enriches the soil with organic matter. The grazing and browsing activities of animals also help in recycling nutrients in savanna ecosystems.


Do animals help with soil conservation?

Yes. Humans manage some grassland by grazing. Grazing animals prevent slow-growing plants from developing. Only grass (which has all the important parts underground) can survive these harsh conditions.Technically speaking wheat, oats and barley are grasses. So putting land aside for farming would create grassland.However on the whole grassland is self-sustaining. The Mongolian steppe or American prairies remain grassland because of low rainfall caused by the Himalayas and the Rocky mountains.


Does grazing affect soil erosion?

Yes, grazing can affect soil erosion. Overgrazing can remove vegetation cover, making the soil more susceptible to erosion from wind and water. Proper grazing management, such as rotational grazing, can help maintain vegetation cover and reduce soil erosion.
