Long- and short-term effects of reindeer grazing on tundra wetland vegetation (2009, background): “a greater eVect on unproductive heaths than in more productive habitats (Oksanen et al. 1981; Moen and Oksanen 1998; Olofsson et al. 2002; Pajunen et al. 2008), the socalled ‘exploitation ecosystems hypothesis’ (sensu Moen and Oksanen 1998).”
Environment, vegetation and greenness (NDVI) along the North America and Eurasia Arctic transects (2012, background): “Numerous studies have shown that during summer, the reindeer preferentially graze the sedges, dwarf shrubs and forbs, leaving the mosses (Bråthen and Oksanen 2001, Pajunen et al 2008, Kitti et al 2009).”
Arctic tundra shrubification: a review of mechanisms and impacts on ecosystem carbon balance (2021, background): “Several exclosure experiments have demonstrated that herbivory may alter vegetation composition (Pajunen et al 2008, Ravolainen et al 2011) and reduce climate-driven shrub expansion (Olofsson et al 2009).”
