Answer 1

Answer:

d) addition of their excrete to the soil.

Answer 2

The beneficial effect of grazing animals:

• Option “D” is correct i.e. addition of their excreta to the soil.

• The beneficial effect of grazing is that they add their excreta to the soil.

• Grazing terminates the green cover of land. In fact, overgrazing is the most significant reason for desertification. The trampling of soil makes it compact and exposures it to wind and water erosion but grazing may be useful by adding the excreta of animals into the soil, which adds organic matter and delivers essential mineral nutrition to plants. Animal excreta improve soil structure and nutrition status.
