Both grasslands and rangelands support grasses and other herbaceous plants (Allen et al., 2011). Together, these lands cover about 40% of the Earth’s area (Buisson et al., 2022; Bardgett et al., 2021). Grasslands include prairies, grassy shrublands, and savannas (Bardgett et al., 2021). They are typically found on relatively fertile soils in reasonably humid climates and therefore can produce more forage and support a higher livestock-carrying capacity than rangelands. Grasslands may be described as ‘natural,’ occupied primarily by native species, or ‘tame’ or ‘improved,’ primarily occupied by introduced species. Grasslands may be managed intensively for agricultural production, which arrests successional processes (Allen et al., 2011).
