Bison extirpation may have caused aspen expansion in western Canada
Abstract
The aspen Populus tremuloides parkland that forms the northern margin of the North American grassland or prairie has been variously attributed either individually or in different combinations to the ecological effects of prairie fire, fire suppression, frequent drought, and grazing.

In presettlement times, bison may have limited the extent of quaking aspen in the Aspen Parkland of the Canadian Northern Plains.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
