What are rangelands?

Rangelands are extensive, uncultivated landscapes that are dominated by naturally established vegetation predominately utilized by domestic and wild grazings/browsing mammals. Rangelands can be distinguished from intensively managed pasturelands as they are primarily natural ecosystems with native vegetation rather than established vegetation introduced by humans (https://esa.org/rangeland/about/).
