Many ways to die – partitioning tree mortality dynamics in a near‐natural mixed deciduous forest (2013, background): “Another important factor for the regeneration pattern is roe deer browsing, which selectively disadvantages the nonbeech species (Kenderes, Mihók & Standovár 2008; Boulanger et al. 2009; Guse 2009).”
Shrubs protect oak seedlings against ungulate browsing in temperate broadleaved forests of conservation interest: A field experiment (2012, background): “However, the deterrent effect of brambles can vary between sites and ungulate species; both bramble and its relative raspberry (Rubus idaeus) are palatable under some circumstances (Kuiters and Slim, 2002; Casabon and Pothier, 2008; Boulanger et al., 2009; Pellerin et al., 2010).”
Biological Flora of the British Isles: Fagus sylvatica (2012, background): “In N.E. France, dogwood (Cornus sp.) and field rose (Rosa arvensis) appeared to be the most selected species by red and roe deer whereas beech, common mezereon (Daphne mezereum) and wild-service tree (Sorbus torminalis) were always avoided (Boulanger et al. 2009).”
