Title: Effects of simulated feeding by snow geese on Scirpus americanus rhizomes: Journal: Oecologia; Authors: J. F. Giroux, and J. Bedard; Date: 1987; Summary: Over two years a series of experiments were conducted at Cap St. Ignace, Quebec (47Â° 02' N, 70Â° 29' W) to examine the effects of underground biomass herbivory on mortality, net above ground biomass and below ground biomass of Scirpus americanus. Rhizomes were dug, washed, sorted, assigned to treatments, and planted in metal basins located in the salt marsh that were free of non-test rhizomes. Number of shoots, buds, inflorescences, rhizome length and production were recorded. Intensity of rhizome removal was simulated by clipping rhizomes to var ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Riparian zones, Grazing, Wildlife; View more details about this article
