- Title: Forage variation in brood-rearing areas used by pacific black brant geese on the Yukon-Kuskokwim delta, Alaska
- Journal: Journal of Ecology
- Authors: B. T. Person, C. A. Babcock, and R. W. Ruess
- Date: 1998
- Summary: The effect of grazing by black brant geese (Branta bernicla nigricans) on Carex subspathacea lawns was investigated on the Yukon-Kuskokwim delta, Alaska for two years. Six grazing treatments (grazed for 21 days, 42 days; no grazing for 21 days, 42 days; grazed for 21 days followed by no grazing for 21 days, no grazing for 21 days followed by 21 days of grazing) were tested using 10 replicated exclosures across 4 landscapes (Tutakoke, Lower Kashunuk, Onumtuk Bend and Emperor Bend). During the second year of the study the sites of Kokechick West and Kol ...

- Title: Foraging by geese, isostatic uplift and asymmetry in the development of salt-marsh plant communities
- Journal: Journal of Ecology
- Authors: D. S. Hik, R. L. Jefferies, and A. R. E. Sinclair
- Date: 1992
- Summary: The response of the salt-marsh plant communities to grazing by lesser snow geese (Chen caerulescens caerulescens) and isostatic uplift at La Perouse Bay, Manitoba, (58˚ 04’ N, 94˚ 30’ W) was examined on short- and long-term scales using a multiple state model. Data presented here include the results from a current study and also previously published floristic and biomass data. These two annotations can be found in RSIS and are both by Jefferies (1988). Changes in vegetative composition relative to isostatic uplift was measured in three ...
