10、imals and hold a unique role in grasslands in North America,” Craine said. “In addition to their cultural and ecological significance, theyre economically important.

11、son herds（兽群）throughout the U. S. The organizations kept annual records of each animal in the herd and matched the data with the climates of the sites.
