Grass diversity enhances ecosystem resilience from "summary" of Soil, Grass, and Cancer by André Voisin
Diverse grasslands play a crucial role in maintaining the health and stability of ecosystems. When there is a variety of grass species present in an area, the ecosystem becomes more resilient to external disturbances. This resilience is essential for withstanding challenges such as extreme weather events, pests, and diseases. Each grass species has its own unique characteristics and strengths. Some species may have deeper roots that help prevent soil erosion, while others may be more resistant to drought or grazing pressure.
