Long-term effects of deer browsing: Composition, structure and productivity in a northeastern Minnesota old-growth forest (2012, background): “…suggests that prolonged, intense browsing pressure may lead to profound change in forest composition and structure leading to altered food chains (Martin et al., 2010), declines in regional habitat and species diversity and changes in key processes such as nitrogen and carbon cycling (Rooney and…”
Big game or big loss? High deer densities are threatening woody plant diversity and vegetation dynamics (2014, background): “It is well known that browsers influence composition, structure, production and ecosystem processes in temperate forests by selectively foraging on preferred plant species (Alverson et al. 1988; McInnes et al. 1992; Pastor et al. 1993; Rooney and Waller 2003; Côté et al. 2004; Stockton et al. 2005; ”
Impacts of biological invasions: what's what and the way forward. (2013, unknown): “Today, government agencies consider deer a problem, and the local community increasingly deplores the impact of deer on vegetation [63,64].”
Effects of abundant white-tailed deer on vegetation, animals, mycorrhizal fungi, and soils (2014, background): “…Rooney and Waller, 2003), reduce growth and reproduction of woodland herbs (Webster et al., 2005; Heckel et al., 2010), cause local extirpations of herbaceous species (Augustine and Frelich, 1998; Knight et al., 2009a), and decrease overall vegetation density (Rooney, 2009; Martin et al., 2010).”
