Answer to Question 1

Rangeland, also known as range, grassland, or prairie, refers to the land areas of the world that tend to be naturally
covered by grasses, grass-like plants, forbs, and shrubs as the primary vegetation instead of trees



Answer to Question 2

is an attempt to return the mining site to something resembling its appearance before the mining operation
