The influence of grazing on seed production and dispersal in grasslands

Grazing influences morphogenesis as well as physiology of range plants. The objective of this study was to review the international bibliography about seed production and dispersal in grasslands. The selective grazing is one of the most important factors that influences the composition of vegetation in grasslands, as far as it causes mortality of the plants, limitation of growth of young individuals and in general the reduction of tolerance of species, with direct and indirect ways. The effects of grazing on plants include seed dispersal.
