Environmental noises often affect population dynamics, and hence many benefits are gained in using stochastic models since real life is full of stochasticity and randomness. In this paper a stochastic extension of a model by Asfaw et al. (Int J Biomath 11:1850057, 2018) is considered. Due to the non-linearity of the model, first, a simplified stochastic plant-herbivore model is formulated and analyzed for its global Lipschitz continuity, positivity, existence and uniqueness of solutions. Second, the analysis is extended to a more complex and realistic model. Numerical simulations using Euler-Maruyama method are employed to demonstrate the long term dynamics. It was found that the noise added to the herbivore population resulted more change in the dynamics than the noise added to the plant population (food source). Ignoring the environmental noise could make the land management and wild life conservation not to maintain their goals.
