undergrazed
Too little browsing
Undergrazed describes land that has received less grazing pressure from livestock than intended or optimal.
Pasture management often requires a balance—overgrazing damages vegetation, while undergrazing allows grass to grow too tall and rank, reducing its nutritional quality and crowding out desirable species: The undergrazed paddock was choked with mature stems that cattle wouldn't touch.
