Title: Nitrogen mineralization, plant growth and goose herbivory in an arctic coastal ecosystem: Journal: Journal of Ecology; Authors: D. J. Wilson, and R. L. Jefferies; Date: 1996; Summary: Wilson and Jefferies examined differences in vegetation and soil characteristics in intertidal and inland marshes, as well as at grazed and ungrazed sites, in La Perouse Bay, Manitoba. They found that lesser snow geese (Anser caerulescens caerulescens) feed more intensively on intertidal sites compared to inland sites. Grubbed sites were found to have less above-ground biomass, and lower amounts of total soil nitrogen, exchangeable inorganic nitrogen and net mineralization of soil nitrogen than the ungrazed sites. Differences in the quantity and quality of vegetation are ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Riparian zones, Rangelands, Wildlife; View more details about this article
