temperate+grassland+environmental+Issues

Over the years humans have effected temperate grasslands in many ways. But most of the temperate grassland land has been taken over and used for farming. Temperate Grasslands are so ideal because they are so large and so flat.The farming land is used for growing crops, rearing cattle and other various uses. It would be very easy for a person to start a farm in a temperate grassland area.

Some of the effects taking over a temperate grassland can be good but also bad. One example is because livestock such as cows have a lot of food or energy. They eat grass most of the time and there is a lot of that in a temperate grassland.The grass is very good for herbivores and cows can produce more milk for dairy products which produces more income for the farmer. One bad thing that humans could do to a temperate grassland is creating more industry and building since it is mostly just land it could quickly turn from a wild grassland to a busy town of farmers making their livings. This would be devastating for the native animals as there habitat would be destroyed.

Even though there are negative and positive things that happen in a temperate grassland, there are some solutions that can aid in the protection of the temperate grasslands. One solution to protect the animals is to outlaw hunting in that area. Also some national parks have replanted grass. Thankfully people in the world are starting to become more aware and protective of the temperate grassland.
