Top-down and bottom-up consequences of unchecked ungulate browsing on plant and animal diversity in temperate forests: lessons from a deer introduction (2010, background): “…(McKinney and Lockwood 1999) is precisely what has been suggested for eastern forests with high deer populations (Rooney et al. 2004, and review in Côté et al. 2004), and is suspected in areas of Europe that have already experienced decades of high browsing pressure (Gill and Fuller 2007).”
Ecosystem and competition impacts of introduced deer (2008, unknown): “…and ultimately forest canopies through their impacts on regeneration, generally with an increase in unpalatable species or those resistant to browsing (Kirby 2001; Horsley et al. 2003; Joys et al. 2004; Rooney et al. 2004; Stone et al. 2004; Focardi and Tinelli 2005; Gill and Fuller 2007).”
BirdTrends 2014: trends in numbers, breeding success and survival for UK breeding birds (2014, background): “The increasing intensity of browsing by deer is known to be reducing habitat quality for this species (Gill & Fuller 2007, Holt et al. 2010).”
