This winter landscape nicely demonstrates why grazing cattle is a best practice in regenerative land management. When we ask, "What can accelerate regeneration, how can the nutrient cycle improve?" here's looking at the answer: building symbiotic animal-plant relationships.

This warming effect has also been found in studies.
"Grazing (the consumption of plant biomass by livestock) modifies soil temperature over time, which, in turn, influences microorganism activity, the decomposition rate of organic metter, and nutrient cycling" see Link
