Rangeland refers to large, open areas of land primarily used for grazing livestock and wildlife. These lands are characterized by natural vegetation, including grasses, shrubs, and sometimes trees, which provide food and habitat for various species. Rangelands can be found in many regions around the world, including North America, Australia, and parts of Africa.
Management of rangelands is essential to maintain their health and productivity. Practices such as controlled grazing, fire management, and restoration efforts help prevent overgrazing and soil erosion. Sustainable rangeland management supports both agricultural needs and the conservation of biodiversity in these ecosystems.
