Portuguese term or phrase: gramíneas e arbustos forrageiros
Em decorrência de vários factores, principalmente de secas cíclicas e da redução das áreas de pastos e de abeberamento dos animais, as manadas de gado concentram-se em determinados lugares gerando uma pressão sobre os recursos florestais, hídricos e sobre o solo dessas áreas. Nessa condição observa-se a redução e desaparição de gramíneas e arbustos forrageiros e o desenvolvimento espécies menos palatáveis.

Sorry the extract is so long, I wanted to make sure there was enough context. Many thanks!
