Experiments where bison have been excluded versus permitted have documented a positive effect of bison on plant diversity. One mechanism through which they may promote plant diversity is grazing. Another is through their production of wallows, which are small areas (about the size of a lab bench or two) that they trample down to bare ground with their hooves and sleep in. Explain how either of these two seemingly destructive activities—grazing or trampling to produce wallows—might nonetheless promote plant diversity in their habitats.
