In what way do grazing animals affect forest?

Open in App
Solution

  • Extensive grazing of animals causes deforestation due to which some of the forest lives lose their habitats.
  • The lower layer of soil is exposed because of it leading to infertility of soil and also the water holding capacity decreases.
  • Grazing causes loss of biodiversity due to a reduction in green cover and deterioration of soil health.
  • Exposed soil becomes vulnerable to cracking and erosion.
