Cattle, California's Ecology, and Biodiversity
This chapter explores the historical and ecological impact of cattle introduction in California, highlighting the transformation of native ecosystems and the dominance of invasive grasses. It discusses the complex relationship between cattle grazing and native wildlife, suggesting that managed grazing can actually benefit biodiversity rather than harm it.
