These results do not hold in non-grazing-adapted habitats like the Intermountain West of the U.S. and many other arid regions of the World that did not evolve with large herds of grazing animals. In these regions, intermediate level grazing and short bursts of intense grazing have a devastating impact on microbiotic crust communities (nitrogen cycle), native bunch grasses, and soil erosion.
