Human Impact on Temperate Grassland __**Back to Main Page

Human Impact**__ is what humans have done to a certain area or biome, good or bad.

Over many year humans have done many things to the temperate grasslands. But most of the temperate grassland land has been taken over and used for farming. Since the grasslands are so big and open, it is understandable why a farmer would want live there.The farming land is used for growing crops, rearing cattle and other various uses. The cause of popular farming in temperate grasslands is because the land is so wide and open and pretty flat since it is just full of grass. 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 and also get fatter so when they die, more meat is taken from the cow. But one bad thing that humans could do to a temperate grassland is creating more industry and building since it is mostly just land. Humans could also hunt some of the certain animals or even destory their habitat or home.

Even though there are good and bad things that happen in a temperate grassland, there are some things that can help the grassland. One solution to save some of the animals is hunting certain animals such as bison, illegal. Also some national parks have replanted grass where the grass has been taken out by the creation of farms. People in the world are becoming more aware and protective of the temperate grassland.
