Sobrepastura

Definition from Termcat:
Pastura intensiva i continuada en un terreny que provoca una pèrdua de nutrients i una desaparició de la vegetació, impedeix el creixement de les plantes joves i supera la capacitat de renovació del terreny.

Example sentence(s):

L'explotació Extensiva: P.SubD. Amb problemes com la despesa d'aigua i la sobrepastura. - Wikiteka
La sobrepastura també afecta a aquesta finca de l’altra extrem del municipi però en aquest cas els causants són sobretot un important ramat de porcs ibèrics i alguns cavalls. En aquest cas no existeixen tanques que delimitin el terreny propi per a la pastura fet que provoca que els porcs s’escampin pels boscos propers. - DIAGNOSI AMBIENTAL DE FIGARÓ-MONTMANY
La degradació dels terrenys per culpa de la sobrepastura està causant un gran perjudici en forma de pèrdua de productivitat ramadera. En els primers estadis de la sobrepastura, els costos pugen a mesura que baixa la productivitat dels terrenys. Però si el procés continua, es destrueix la vegetació i això dóna pas a l’erosió del sòl i, per últim, a la formació d’un erm. - Unescocat
