[QUOTE="neilo, post: 8253180, member: 348"] More point scoring? It’s not ruminant livestock that causes overgrazing, but the way they’re being managed near your village. I say again, ruminant livestock are not the cause of climate change. I can’t say that I’ve seen overgrazing that’s led to ‘desertification’, resulting in sand that blows away, but then I’ve never farmed near sand. More usually the land becomes colonised by short, dense, relatively unproductive, grasses and small leaved wild white clover. The grazing management changes the dominant species in the same way that long resting periods do, although of course, those short unproductive grasses don’t pose a wildfire risk. [/QUOTE]
