Title: Current and predicted long-term effects of deer browsing in hemlock forests in Michigan, USA: Journal: Biological Conservation; Authors: L. E. Frelich, and C. G. Lorimer; Date: 1985; Summary: Overbrowsing by large deer populations in the mixed-conifer hardwood forests of northern Michigan is suspected to be the reason for the limited regeneration of hemlock trees in this area. Frelich and Lorimer measured the utilization of hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) to determine their impact on seedling establishment and recruitment of young trees in the forest, then used this data to create a detailed computer model that predicts the forest composition in several decades if the current browsing level continue ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Riparian zones, Rangelands, Wildlife; View more details about this article
