Long-term influences of introduced deer on the composition and structure of New Zealand Nothofagus forests (2003, background): “Deer-induced compositional shifts might be largely irreversible, even after deer are removed, if slowergrowing, unpalatable or browse-tolerant species are able to gain an advantage once the faster growing palatable species are removed (Wardle et al., 2001).”
Impacts of invasive biota in forest ecosystems in an aboveground–belowground context (2017, background): “However, work on invasive vertebrates has revealed that the impacts of introduced deer in New Zealand forests varies strongly among forest types (Wardle et al. 2001), driven strongly by both differences in native species vegetation composition and soil fertility (Forsyth et al. 2015).”
Herbivore-mediated linkages between aboveground and belowground communities (2003, background): “Further, in a study of 30 long-term (13–36-yr-old) fenced plots aimed at excluding introduced deer and goats in a range of New Zealand rain forests, Wardle et al. (2001) showed that effects on soil biota, C mineralization, and C and N sequestration were highly idiosyncratic, with roughly equal…”
Impacts of introduced deer and extinct moa on New Zealand ecosystems (2010, background): “It is therefore unsurprising that Wardle et al. (2001) found the effects of browsing mammals on many of the measured ecosystem properties at the 20 × 20 m scale to be idiosyncratic, with about equal numbers of the 30 sites showing strong positive and strong negative effects.”
Changes in interaction biodiversity induced by an introduced ungulate (2003, background): “Our study also adds to the long list of documented effects of introduced mammalian herbivores (de Vos et al. 1956; Ebenhard 1988; Dennis 1997; Smit et al. 2001; Wardle 2001; Va ´zquez 2002b), thus supporting the notion that introduced consumers in general and herbivores in particular tend to have ”
Management of introduced mammals in New Zealand (2003, background): “…and the need to be efficient (Innes et al. 1999), and as they start to consider how to manage multiple threats at different trophic levels (e.g., Oksanen & Oksanen 2000), or by using food web approaches (e.g., Pimm 1982), or to measure benefits at the ecosystem level (e.g., Wardle et al. 2001).”
Tree physiological responses to above-ground herbivory directly modify below-ground processes of soil carbon and nitrogen cycling (2004, background): “Ruess & McNaughton 1987; McNaughton et al. 1997; Frank & Groffman 1998; Tracy & Frank 1998; Stark et al. 2000; Bardgett et al. 2001; Wardle et al. 2001 ) or negative (e.g.”
Multiple Effects of Introduced Mammalian Herbivores in a Temperate Forest (2002, background): “In New Zealand forests, trampling by introduced deer and goats affects the composition of litter-dwelling mesofauna and macrofauna (Wardle 2001).”
LARGE HERBIVORES SUPPRESS DECOMPOSER ABUNDANCE IN A SEMIARID GRAZING ECOSYSTEM (2004, background): “…mi- crobial biomass in some cases (Garcia and Rice 1994, Holt 1997, Stark and Grellmann 2002), increase it in some (Singh et al. 1991, Bardgett et al. 1997, 2001, Stark et al. 2002), and have no, or idiosyncratic, effects on it in others (Kieft 1994, Tracy and Frank 1998, Wardle et al. 2001).”
Non-indigenous ungulates as a threat to biodiversity (2009, background): “, 1984) and the reduction of the density and number of Collembola species (Vtorov, 1993) and other arthropods (Wardle et al., 2001).”
