Errosion and grass

We went with Cobus and the second years so they can teach us how to do a basic field assessment. We did this at the spring buck flats.
I learnt that grasses have a score that puts in one a couple of things like their ecological factor, their succession stage and the nourishment that they can give your animals.
What we did was walk in a direction counting steps then every 10 steps we would record the grass that we are standing on, we did this in three groups so that we could get a good idea of the grasses that are found on the flats. What it came down to was that there is primarily Fox tail Buffalo grass.
I learnt that fox tail buffalo grass is a really good grass overall scoring a 10/10 overall. It is a really nutritious grass, a Climax grass and a good topsoil erosion preventer.
We learnt that the flats are actually in really good condition they are simply over grazed.
