I disagree.
Floods and fire can impact ecosystem composition at a local or regional scale, but these components are entirely necessary for ecosystem renewal and diversity. As parts of an ecosystem are disturbed, it opens niche space for early seral plants. Fire cycles can vary substantially even grasslands.
The reason these systems need human management now is because they have been highly disturbed, and the whole system is out of whack. Roughly 2-5% of the tall grass prairie remains. The overgrazing and invasive pests/plants issue you touch on is anthropogenic in origin, not so much in undisturbed systems.
Completely fine with me.
What’s your opinion billionaires?
stops mid stroke wait, those things are for saliva?
That’s an incorrect hypothesis. Tall grass prairie, while definitely manipulated by indigenous people, doesn’t really require management; it’s the climax community for the biome. Further, fringe areas, like parkland, actually encroach on grasslands, not the other way around.
Grasses are disturbance specialists, and prairie has a natural and short fire cycle that maintains this disturbance. Take away the disturbance and you get woody species coming in on the fringe areas. In this regard, First Nations would burn parkland to create more area for grassland. If their population were declining, the lack of management would result in less bison habitat, not more.
E: I’m hilariously lost with the original comment - everyone point and laugh please. Lmao.
Yeah I’m for sure reading that later. My brain is just reading this like one of those sovereign citizen rants right now, despite there actually being valid points. I think it’s the emphasised word that’s messing with me.
Hell of a ‘first post reply of the day’
Yes, yes we do. I’ve recieved them personally
Well fuck.
What a weird word. Thanks
If you pull that apart and it reminds you of grilled cheese you might want to reconsider your dining location
I like that you’re bringing facts into this, but that still seems fuckin young. Maybe I’m just getting old though
Fair, but the restoration is a pittance compared to what the herds used to be like. Granted, I wouldn’t want to step out of my house and be trampled by a bison because there were so many of them, but still, it was a tremendous upset to a natural system, and systematic genocide to boot. Nothing much to like about how it all happened.
I went to a national park and they had bison. I had the very awkward conversation about why bison are protected now, with my young children.
Humans are awful
E: I realize I’m very lost lmfao. This was supposed to be a reply to another post but I had too many tabs open.
Fuck.
