Long-term response of spring flora to chronic herbivory and deer exclusion in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, USA (2005, background): “Most studies of deer impacts on forest plant communities have focused on woody species (Harlow and Downing, 1970; Frelich and Lorimer, 1985; Rooney et al., 2000; Opperman and Merenlender, 2000), mid-summer Xowering guilds (Rooney and Dress, 1997; Webster and Parker, 1997), individual species (August”
Deer impacts on forest ecosystems: a North American perspective (2001, background): “Against this backdrop, Rooney et al. (2000) examined hemlock recruitment at 100 sites over a 10 000 km2 area in the Upper Great Lakes region.”
Restoring forest herb communities through landscape-level deer herd reductions: Is recovery limited by legacy effects? (2010, background): “Other studies have similarly found these fine-scale browse indices are generally poor (low R(2)) or non-significant predictors of understory plant species abundance (Rooney et al., 2000; Barnett and Stohlgren, 2001; Kirschbaum and Anacker, 2005).”
Long-term decline in white-tailed deer browse supply: can lichens and litterfall act as alternative food sources that preclude density-dependent feedbacks (2005, unknown): “) (Anderson and Katz 1993; Alverson and Waller 1997; Rooney et al. 2000), eastern white cedar (Thuja occidentalis L.”

Do deer and shrubs override canopy gap size effects on growth and survival of yellow birch, northern red oak, eastern white pine, and eastern hemlock seedlings? (2012, background): “Hemlock, a shade-tolerant species, has declined in abundance as well, due to browsing by abundant deer populations and limited light for regeneration (Rooney et al., 2000; Witt and Webster, 2010).”
Interactions between white-tailed deer density and the composition of forest understories in the northern United States (2017, background): “The spatial arrangements between tree seedlings and woody debris may influence survival depending on a seedling’s location to woody debris (van Ginkel et al., 2013) and microsite conditions such as light availability (Rooney et al., 2000).”
Density‐related effects of deer browsing on the regeneration dynamics of boreal forests (2007, unknown): “The abundance of deer relative to resource availability is a major influence on the regeneration dynamics of forest systems (Tilghman 1989; Rooney et al . 2000; Martin & Baltzinger 2002; Horsley et al . 2003).”
Direct and indirect effects of white-tailed deer in forest ecosystems (2003, background): “In both species, regeneration of seedlings > 30 cm tall declined linearly as local browsing pressure increased, and complete regeneration failure occurred where browsing pressure was greatest (Waller et al., 1996; Rooney et al., 2000, 2002).”
Factors affecting the regeneration of northern white cedar in lowland forests of the Upper Great Lakes region, USA (2002, unknown): “The importance of deer browsing is evident in the high path coefficients relating local browse index values to the abundance of white cedar and hemlock saplings 30 cm tall (Fig. 6; Rooney et al., 2000).”
Effects of White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) on Plants, Plant Populations and Communities: A Review (2001, methodology): “…documented large spatial (Anderson and Loucks, 1979; Frelich and Lorimer, 1985; Anderson, 1994; Inouye et al., 1994; Healy, 1997; Augustine and Frelich, 1998; Augustine et al., 1998; Rooney et al., 2000) and temporal variation (Inouye et al., 1994) in the magnitude of deer effects on vegetation.”
Impacts of white-tailed deer on regional patterns of forest tree recruitment (2016, background): “…and Thuja occidentalis are all highly vulnerable to deer that often browse preferentially on these conifers, particularly in winter (Dahlberg and Guttinger 1956; Alverson and Waller 1997; Rooney et al. 2000; Cornett et al. 2000; Rooney et al. 2002; Townsend et al. 2002; Vila et al. 2003).”
The eradication of balsam fir stands by white-tailed deer on Anticosti Island, Québec: A 150-year process (2003, background): “Even for those species, small seedlings (< 15-30 cm) are rarely browsed in favour of larger saplings (Stewart & Burrows, 1989; Rooney et al., 2000).”
Effects of sika deer on vegetation in Japan: A review (2009, background): “Examples of exclusion studies are available for white-tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus in North America (Mlandenoff and Stearns, 1993; Rooney et al., 2000) and red deer Cervus elaphus in Scotland (Baines et al.”
