Environment Problems

          and Solutions

Problems:

  • If global warming gets worse, it could turn current marginal grasslands into deserts  as rainfall patterns change.

  • Development of urban areas is increasingly cutting into grassland habitat.

  • Where only one crop is grown, pests and disease can spread easily, creating the need for potentially toxic pesticides.

Prairie that turned to desert over time due to rainfall amounts.

Solutions:

  • Conduct dry season burning to obtain fresh growth and to restore calcium to the soil that builds up in the dry grasses.

  • Protect and restore wetlands, which are an important part of grassland ecology.

  • Rotate agricultural crops to prevent the sapping of nutrients.
