Question

Steven Herman describes the results of grazing on public lands as a ""landscape holocaust."" Which of the following conditions does he attribute to grazing?Higher water tablesShrubland being replaced by native grassesDesertification of formerly productive ecosystemsIncreased bank-side vegetation

Answer 1

Desertification of formerly productive ecosystems.

Step-by-step explanation:

Herman uses the phrase "landscape holocaust" to make reference to the devastation the ecosystems go through because of grazing. The word "holocaust" means massacre on a huge scale, which is why Herman uses it to portray how badly the terrain is affected when a large proportion of animals feed on them in a much unnatural way. Many companies acquire lands and disrupt ecosystems so that their livestock can feed on them.
