Question

Cattle on an open range, in some areas, may compact fragile soils while grazing. This can damage plant roots, leading to fewer, smaller plants, which may in turn cause cattle to graze more and work harder to obtain food compacting more soil. This is an example of a ________.

Answer 1

Answer:

The given situation is an example of the Positive feedback loop.

Explanation:

Positive feedback is the phenomenon in which the effects of the small disturbances on a particular system can result in an increase in the perturbation magnitude. Positive feedback increases the input and causes instability in the system. Therefore, it refers to positive loop gain about closed loop of the cause and effect.

Therefore, the given situation is an example of the Positive feedback loop.
