Which of the following statements regarding rangelands in the United States is TRUE? Group of answer choices Public rangelands in the U.S. are managed by the National Park Service with a preservation mandate and thus cannot be used for grazing private livestock. The condition of U.S. rangelands which declined starting in the 1930s, at the time of the Dust Bowl, have continued to be on the decline largely due to the lack of federal legislation. Approximately 50% of the total land area in the United States is rangeland, and most of it is located east of the Mississippi. Restoration of degraded rangeland in the U.S. is a slow and costly process but effective as a result of techniques that include seeding in places where plant cover is sparse or absent, conducting controlled burns to suppress shrubby plants, constructing fences to allow rotational grazing, and controlling invasive weeds.

The correct statement regarding rangelands in the United States of America is: D. Restoration of degraded rangeland in the U.S. is a slow and costly process but effective as a result of techniques that include seeding in places where plant cover is sparse or absent, conducting controlled burns to suppress shrubby plants, constructing fences to allow rotational grazing, and controlling invasive weeds.

A rangeland can be defined as an extensive area of land which comprises grasslands or shrubby vegetations that are either grazed by domestic livestock or wild animals.

This ultimately implies that, the native vegetation of a rangeland is predominantly grasses, shrubs or forbs.

In the United States of America, the restoration of degraded rangeland is usually slow and capital intensive (costly) but are highly effective when the following agricultural techniques are adopted:

  • Seeding in locations (places) where plant cover is sparse or absent.
  • Conducting controlled burns to suppress shrubby plants.
  • Constructing fences to allow rotational grazing.
  • Controlling the intrusion of invasive weeds.
