Overgrazing causes there to be less grass and soil cover so that when rainfall comes the soil becomes more eroded quicker and easier

Overgrazing can reduce ground cover, enabling erosion and compaction of the land by wind and rain.. This reduces the ability for plants to grow and water to penetrate, which harms soil microbes and results in serious erosion of the land.
