Preferred term

Efecto del pastoreo

Changes in vegetation, soil properties, biodiversity, and ecosystem functioning resulting from herbivore grazing. Many ecological effects, which may be positive or negative, derive from grazing. Negative effects of grazing may include overgrazing, increased soil erosion, compaction and degradation, deforestation, biodiversity loss, and adverse water quality impacts from run-off. Positive affects include that by removing biomass, which otherwise might provide the fuel for bush fires, by controlling shrub growth and by dispersing seeds through their hoofs and manure, grazing animals can improve plant species composition. In addition, trampling can stimulate grass tillering, improve seed germination and break-up hard soil crusts.
