Tiny seeds clung to the fur of cattle, travelled from one corner of a pasture to another, were deposited where animals rested, and scattered along the way when hay was transported. This ensured not only that plants dispersed, but that they could travel considerable distances. In this way, diverse and resilient natural grassland ecosystems were formed and maintained. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1074\" height=\"716\" src=\"http:\/\/178.62.207.124\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Seklu_vaksana-1074x716.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grasslife.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Seklu_vaksana-1074x716.jpg 1074w, https:\/\/grasslife.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Seklu_vaksana-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/grasslife.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Seklu_vaksana-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/grasslife.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Seklu_vaksana-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/grasslife.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Seklu_vaksana-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1074px) 100vw, 1074px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, natural seed dispersal has become significantly limited.
