Invasive species cover and species proportion

Framework / Assessment
Summary

Certain invasive species (e.g., certain grass species) have long accompanied rangeland because they were planted as feed for domestic animals. Other species have done well in the disturbed environments that can accompany grazing (e.g., in meadows or riparian areas). Because some domestic animals find a wide range of plants palatable, they have also been used to non-chemically control certain weeds.
