Biodiversity, exotic plant species, and herbivory: The good, the bad, and the ungulate (2007, background): “In the Western United States (US) outside of national parks the ecological effects of foraging by native ungulates has not been recognized as evidenced by the lack of its mention in land management policies and plans (Wisdom et al., 2006).”
Trophic cascades involving cougar, mule deer, and black oaks in Yosemite National Park (2008, background): “…of fire with moderate-to-high herbivory can be detrimental to tree recruitment, decreased levels of herbivory may be required before some of the potential ecological benefits of fire (i.e., the maintenance of palatable woody species that are adapted to fire) can be attained (Wisdom et al., 2006).”
Patterns and consequences of ungulate herbivory on aspen in western North America (2013, background): “Herbivory in aspen by wild ungulates and domestic livestock suppresses overstory tree recruitment, which alters the overstory structure and composition over time (Smith et al., 1972; Fitzgerald et al., 1986; McLaren and Peterson, 1994; Rooney and Waller, 2003; Wisdom et al., 2006; Didion et al., 200”
Density‐related effects of deer browsing on the regeneration dynamics of boreal forests (2007, unknown): “Our ability to predict forest regeneration and succession patterns in order to provide sound management prescriptions requires the pursuit of long-term experimental studies that control for multiple sources of variation (Hester et al. 2000; Côté et al. 2004; Wisdom et al. 2006).”
