Technically "paturelands" are grazing lands that are managed intensively (fertilized, seeding) and often fenced.
For most of their history, the Navajo lands for sheep have been better described as "rangelands". The areas are mostly steppe and mountain landscapes. They are not seeded or fertilized. They are unfenced and the sheep are moved in different seasons, largely to higher elevations in the summer.
What else can I help you with?
What is the robins habitat?
Forests, pasturelands, suburban lawns.
What habitats does a red-tailed hawk live in?
Forests, pasturelands, even city parks, wherever there is prey.
Who were Gregory Blaxland William Lawson and WC Wentworth?
Blaxland, Lawson and Wentworth were the first Europeans to cross the Blue Mountains (incidentally, Wentworth was Australian-born). This was significant because it enabled the expansion of the colony of Sydney to new and better pasturelands.
What makes up 50 percent of all land areas in the US?
Rangelands and pasturelands make up 50 percent of all land areas in the US. These areas are used for grazing livestock and provide important habitats for many plant and animal species.
What is the word that means to eat grass?
The word that means to eat grass is "graze." This term is often used to describe the feeding behavior of herbivorous animals, such as cows, sheep, and horses, as they consume grass and other vegetation. Grazing is a natural feeding method that allows these animals to obtain necessary nutrients from pasturelands.
How do drought affect our lives?
Drought affects the life of pastoralists adversely as they survive by rearing animals. These animals require pasturelands to feed. Drought causes the drying of pasture lands as well as destruction of crops. This results in starvation of animals and eventually their death. Pastoralists adopt nomadic lifestyle to escape this kind of situation.
Why land under permanent pastures is decreasing?
Land under permanent pastures is decreasing primarily due to agricultural intensification and the conversion of grasslands into cropland for food production. Urbanization and infrastructure development also contribute to this decline, as natural habitats are transformed into residential and commercial areas. Additionally, climate change impacts and land degradation further threaten pasturelands, leading to reduced productivity and increased abandonment of these areas. The shift towards more intensive livestock farming practices often prioritizes feed crops over traditional grazing lands, exacerbating the loss of permanent pastures.
Why is the everglades called the everglades?
because it has the everglades on the way to Orlando and it has most of the animals in the everglades national park.
Did others accompany Thomas Mitchell when he was on his journey?
Sir Thomas Mitchell never travelled alone. He took many well-trained men, and insisted so much on discipline that his exploration parties tended to look more like he was out to conquer the land and anyone in it, than to explore the land.In Mitchell's first expedition (1831) to explore the rivers of north western New South Wales, he took 17 men, almost all of whom were convicts.In Mitchell's second expedition, in 1835, he took 24 well-armed men. This was also the expedition on which Richard Cunningham, brother of well known Australian explorer Alan Cunningham, was killed by Aborigines after becoming lost and separated from his party.On Mitchell's third expedition, in 1836, when he discovered the rich pasturelands of western Victoria, he took 27 heavily-armed men.In 1845-46, when Mitchell explored what is now western Queensland, he had the promising young explorer Edmund Kennedy with him.
What is the habitat of the red talied hawk?
The Red-tailed Hawk ranges throughout North America to the central Alaska and northern Canada, and south as far as the mountains of Panama. Although not truly migratory, they do adjust seasonally to areas of the most abundant prey. In winter many of the northern birds move south. http://www.desertusa.com/aug96/du_hawk.html
What is in a veggie burger patty?
It's a burger which contains meat (or soy) raised and grown under certified organic standards. Some standards include the use of only organically grown feed or grazing on organically grown pasturelands and the prohibition of growth hormones and antibiotic use. An organic burger is a burger that contains carbon. That is the definition of organic. Look it up. Anything that contains carbon is organic. That includes every burger ever made.
What is causing the destruction of the rainforest in Brazil?
In many tropical countries, the majority of deforestation results from the actions of poor subsistence cultivators. However, in Brazil only about one-third of recent deforestation can be linked to "shifted" cultivators. Historically a large portion of deforestation in Brazil can be attributed to land clearing for pastureland by commercial and speculative interests, misguided government policies, inappropriate World Bank projects, and commercial exploitation of forest resources. For effective action it is imperative that these issues be addressed. Focusing solely on the promotion of sustainable use by local people would neglect the most important forces behind deforestation in Brazil. Brazilian deforestation is strongly correlated to the economic health of the country: the decline in deforestation from 1988-1991 nicely matched the economic slowdown during the same period, while the rocketing rate of deforestation from 1993-1998 paralleled Brazil's period of rapid economic growth. During lean times, ranchers and developers do not have the cash to rapidly expand their pasturelands and operations, while the government lacks funds to sponsor highways and colonization programs and grant tax breaks and subsidies to forest exploiters. A relatively small percentage of large landowners clear vast sections of the Amazon for cattle pastureland. Large tracts of forest are cleared and sometimes planted with African savanna grasses for cattle feeding. In many cases, especially during periods of high inflation, land is simply cleared for investment purposes. When pastureland prices exceed forest land prices (a condition made possible by tax incentives that favor pastureland over natural forest), forest clearing is a good hedge against inflation. Such favorable taxation policies, combined with government subsidized agriculture and colonization programs, encourage the destruction of the Amazon. The practice of low taxes on income derived from agriculture and tax rates that favor pasture over forest overvalues agriculture and pastureland and makes it profitable to convert natural forest for these purposes when it normally would not be so.
