The decline of Afro-Palaearctic migrants and an assessment of potential causes (2014, unknown): “…practices, and natural processes of succession and recent increases in deer browsing, have meant that young-growth woodland has been increasingly lost throughout much of Europe, with a shift in woodland age structure towards intermediate-aged stands (e.g. Fuller et al. 2007, Hopkins & Kirby 2007).”
BirdTrends 2014: trends in numbers, breeding success and survival for UK breeding birds (2014, background): “…concern of the impact of overgrazing by deer (e.g. Gill & Beardall 2001) and canopy closure (Mason 2007), due to changes in woodland management (Hopkins & Kirby 2007) on the low woodland layers, although good evidence from the UK is sparse (but there are some experimental studies in America on…”
Driving factors behind the eutrophication signal in understorey plant communities of deciduous temperate forests (2012, background): “Resurvey studies, on the other hand, are generally performed in single forests or landscapes, but the increased N deposition levels between the two survey dates often parallel other ecological changes that have taken place during the last decades (e.g. Hopkins & Kirby 2007).”
