Abstract
- Effects of overgrazing occur where there are more grazing animals than the land and vegetation can support. Overgrazing has negatively affected many regions globally, including large portions of sub-Saharan Africa, the southwestern United States, and the Indian subcontinent in Asia. Areas that have been severely damaged by overgrazing may experience desertification, invasion by nonnative plant species, and an increase in endangered plant and animal species.
