Ecosystem Restoration and Rewilding · NCERT Biology

Reintroducing native herbivores in rewilding can primarily help by:

  1. Increasing soil erosion and sediment runoff in open areas
  2. Suppressing all plant growth through intensive overgrazing
  3. Maintaining vegetation structure through grazing
  4. Eliminating decomposers and disrupting nutrient turnover
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Maintaining vegetation structure through grazing

Native herbivores shape vegetation through grazing. This maintains habitat heterogeneity and supports biodiversity.
