• Impact of herbivory by red deer (Cervus elaphus L.) on patterns and processes in subalpine grasslands in the Swiss National Park (2003, background): “A high concentration of nutrients is generally considered to hinder floristic diversity, at least in undisturbed areas since it favours a few, highly competitive tall-growing species (Tilman, 1987; Rosenzweig and Abramsky, 1993; Huston, 1995; Rosenzweig, 1995; Tracy and Sanderson, 2000; Virtanen et ”
• Rewilding – A New Paradigm for Nature Conservation in Scotland? (2011, background): “In addition, the welldocumented recovery of varied environments following decreases in grazing intensity in Britain and elsewhere suggests that prior ecological structure may be spontaneously re-established (e.g. Welch & Rawes 1964; Virtanen et al. 2002; Bowen et al. 2007).”
• The effects of reindeer grazing on the composition and species richness of vegetation in forest–tundra ecotone (2008, background): “However, in some other systems, grazing has reduced vegetation cover especially in the most productive habitats and has thus moderated diVerences between habitats diVering in productivity (Virtanen et al. 2002; Bråthen et al. 2007).”
• The concept of overgrazing and its role in management of large herbivores (2006, background): “Although these grazers affect the plant species composition to some extent (for Rum, see Virtanen et al. 2002), there is no evidence that the habitat is deteriorating (i.e. that carrying capacity declines) neither on Rum nor in St. Kilda (Milner et al. 2002, Virtanen et al. 2002).”
