We give bounds for the cohomology of constructible sheaves on the moduli\nstacks Mg,n over the complex field. This enables us recover Harer's bound\nfor the virtual cohomological dimension of the associated mapping class groups\nas well the theorem of Diaz on complete subvarieties of Mg. We also obtain\nsuch bounds for any open subset of the Deligne-Mumford compactification of\nMg,n that is a union of strata. Our proof yields a template for obtaining\nsimilar bounds for the cohomological dimension for quasicoherent sheaves on\nMg,n.\n
