摘要: The interaction of humans with domesticated ruminants has strongly influenced the cultural evolution societies. Livestock breeding both negative and positive effects on landscape ecosystem processes biodiversity. Ecological disturbances generated by domestic herbivores are defined at various spatial temporal scales, from micro-scale defoliation an individual plant, to nitrogen redistribution pasture level, global-scale phenomena such as desertification toxification planet. This article focuses mainly interactions cattle, sheep, goats other biotic components grazed ecosystems.
