Answer:

overgrazing

Step-by-step explanation:

Overgrazing is the term used to refer to an area in which the vegetation has been consumed in excess by the cattle or herd of another animal. In other words, overgrazing occurs when the vegetation has been the victim of intensive grazing, where cattle have consumed the vegetation without allowing regrowth to occur, completely depleting native vegetation and leaving the soil without vegetation cover. As a result, the soil will be exposed to the action of winds and rain, making it susceptible to erosion and even desertification.
