A study examines the effect of dung beetles on nutrient cycling in a grassland. If each beetle processes 0.5 kg of dung per day and there are 2000 beetles, how much dung is processed in 30 days?

**A study examines the effect of dung beetles on nutrient cycling in a grassland. If each beetle processes 0.5 kg of dung per day and there are 2000 beetles, how much dung is processed in 30 days?** Understanding the hidden forces shaping grassland ecosystems can transform how we think about conservation, farming, and even climate resilience. A recent study explores how dung beetles play a vital role in recycling nutrients—transforming animal waste into fertile soil through their daily activity. When each beetle processes 0.5 kg of dung daily and a single population of 2000 beetles operates over 30 days, the cumulative impact becomes both measurable and meaningful. --- ### Why This Study Is Gaining Traction Across the US
