Herbivory has potential to modify vegetation responses to climatic changes. However, climate and herbivory also affect each other, and rarely work in isolation from other ecological factors, such as plant–plant competition. ...
Pervasive moose browsing in boreal forests alters successional trajectories by severely suppressing keystone species

Kolstad, Anders Lorentzen; Austrheim, Gunnar; Solberg, Erling Johan; De Vriendt, Laurent; Speed, James David Mervyn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)

Large herbivores can shape young forest stands and determine the successional trajectory of forested ecosystems by selectively browsing palatable species at the sapling stage. Moose (Alces alces) is the dominant vertebrate ...
