White-Tail Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) Influence on Structure and Composition of Tsuga canadensis Forests

Anderson, Roger C., Loucks, Orie L.·1979·The Journal of Applied Ecology

Abstract

(1) The effect of heavy and light deer browsing on the composition and structure of eastern hemlock forests was investigated in Wisconsin, United States. (2) Sugar maple rapidly replaced hemlock when both were heavily browsed but reproduction in hemlock soon recovered upon removal of browsing. (3) White-tailed deer have a substantial influence on the reproduction of hemlock, and on the potential of this species to replace itself in forests where hemlock is the dominant tree species.

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.
