Abstract:Plant–ungulate interactions are critical in shaping the structure of Mediterranean plant communities. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of knowledge on how plant intrinsic and extrinsic factors mediate the sign and strength of plant–ungulate interactions. This is most relevant when addressing natural or assisted restoration of plant communities in human‐disturbed areas.
We conducted field‐clipping experiments simulating how different intensities of ungulate herbivory may affect the natural regeneration and estab… Show more
