- The original soil of the grasslands was soft and absorbed rain readily, but heavy continuous stock grazing drove a degradation sequence that shifted the botanical composition of native grasslands from an ecosystem regulated by large, perennial tussock grasses such as Themeda triandra ( Kangaroo Grass ) to one containing abundant disturbance tolerant native grasses such as Rytidosperma spp.
