Long- and short-term effects of reindeer grazing on tundra wetland vegetation (2009, result): “The main diVerence from non-summer grazed wetlands is the reduced abundance and height of S. lapponum, which has been reported by other studies in northern areas (Ouellet et al. 1994; Manseau et al. 1996; Olofsson et al. 2001; Ims et al. 2007).”
Large scale experimental effects of three levels of sheep densities on an alpine ecosystem (2008, background): “The effect of herbivory has mainly been studied by small-scale exclosure experiments (Mulder 1999) or by use of spatial contrasts in herbivore density (rather than following grazing over time in one area) in quasi-experiments at coarse scales (Bråthen et al. 2007, Ims et al. 2007).”
