2) Why is it needed?

and mineral use.

3) What has been it's impact?
The impact of Cell Grazing is that it has a rotational nature of a cell grazing system
which causes root hairs to slough off after each graze and be replaced during the
regrowth process. This effectively acts as a carbon pump during the growing season.
