Large scale experimental effects of three levels of sheep densities on an alpine ecosystem (2008, background): “Especially graminoids and herbs may decrease with cessation of grazing, suggesting an abundance optimum at intermediate disturbance (Crawley 1997), but the mechanisms for predicted disturbance responses (i.e. grazing) and their temporal effects is expected to vary among plant groups (P1-5; Table 1).”
Facilitation of tree saplings by nurse plants: Microhabitat amelioration or protection against herbivores? (2008, background): “Through a selective consumption of seedlings and saplings, herbivores can alter the course of ecological succession and consequently the species composition of a plant community (Pickett et al. 1987; Huntly 1991; Crawley 1997; Baraza et al. 2006).”
Density dependent and temporal variability in habitat selection by a large herbivore; an experimental approach (2009, background): “Long-term trend (H4) Lastly, it is increasingly recognised that heavy grazing may affect the habitat over a time-scale of years (Crawley 1997, Mysterud 2006).”
Impacts of insect herbivory on cactus population dynamics: experimental demography across an environmental gradient (2009, background): “On the one hand, there is a vast literature, from both natural and managed systems, documenting the injurious effects of herbivory on the vegetative performance and reproductive success of individual plants (reviewed in Crawley 1989, 1997).”
