Plant trait responses to grazing – a global synthesis (2007, background): “For these reasons, changes in grazer densities in response to climate and/or land use change are increasingly considered an important element of global change (Wardle & Bardgett, 2004).”
Legacy of top-down herbivore pressure ricochets back up multiple trophic levels in forest canopies over 30 years (2011, background): “Focusing on below-ground processes, Wardle and Bardgett (2004) reviewed how changes in herbivory by large mammals may also result in a trophic ricochet whereby increased herbivory speeds up nutrient cycling and thereby enhances primary production; however, they did not discuss cascading effects…”
Biodiversity, exotic plant species, and herbivory: The good, the bad, and the ungulate (2007, background): “Ungulates can also have major effects on the belowground decomposer subsystem which, in turn, may influence aboveground biota by altering the supply of available nutrients from the soil (Wardle and Bardgett, 2004).”
Soil‐mediated effects of invasive ungulates on native tree seedlings (2014, background): “These introductions have been shown to exert strong impacts on the functioning of ecosystems (Vazquez 2002; Wardle & Bardgett 2004).”
Impacts of invasive biota in forest ecosystems in an aboveground–belowground context (2017, background): “As such, vertebrate herbivores such as deer and goats have invaded forests in many parts of the world, where they can cause important effects on both the aboveground and belowground subsystems through altering forest community composition (Wardle and Bardgett 2004).”
