• Nitrogen deposition causes widespread loss of species richness in British habitats (2010, background): “In experimental studies interactions between management and N deposition have been shown to be significant (e.g. Alonso et al 2001).”
• Do herbivores cause habitat degradation or vegetation state transition? Evidence from the tundra (2006, background): “The ability of large herbivores, including sheep, to convert moss-dominated vegetation into graminoiddominated swards is also evident from alpine areas such as the Scandinavian mountains (Wielgolaski 1975, Austrheim and Eriksson 2001) and the Scottish uplands ( Alonso et al. 2001, Van der Wal et al”
• Adaptive significance of evergreen vs. deciduous leaves : solving the triple paradox (2002, background): “Exclusion of grazers favors evergreen Calluna over shorter, deciduous graminoids in heathlands (Alonso et al. 2001).”
• Long term effects of deer browsing and trampling on the vegetation of peatlands (2006, background): “Browsing and grazing also reduced the growth of heathers and shrubs (Johnson and Leopold, 1998; Alonso et al., 2001) and the total vegetation biomass (Ausden et al., 2005).”
• Manipulation of nutrients and grazing levels on heather moorland: changes in Calluna dominance and consequences for community composition (2005, background): “Grazing decreases competition for light (Alonso & Hartley 1998; Alonso et al. 2001), as has been observed in other systems where plant stature has been shown to be the key to explaining herbivore impacts on vegetation change (e.”
