Why could reduced mobility cause overgrazing on remaining pastures?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because herds began staying longer in fewer areas
When colonial regulations, forest laws, or boundaries restricted pastoral movement, herds had to remain longer on a few available grazing grounds. Grass then had insufficient time to regenerate, causing overgrazing. Option D may seem related, but colonial control over forests generally became stricter rather than ending. Exam tip: link overgrazing to too many animals grazing for too long in a limited area.
