▪ Abstract Recent theoretical studies suggest that the ability to tolerate consumer damage
can be an important adaptive response by plants to selection imposed by consumers …

The diversity of responses of individual grasses to defoliation created a controversy about
15 years ago, which still needs clarification. We quantitatively assessed the evidence of …

Intense grazing may lead to grassland degradation on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, but it is
difficult to predict where this will occur and to quantify it. Based on a process-based …

摘要从牧草生长, 种群, 群落, 土壤和生态系统5 个方面分析了放牧的作用, 机理与途径.
放牧改变牧草的物质与能量分配格局, 多途径地诱导牧草的补偿性生长, 取决于放牧制度等因素 …

Herbivory is a key process structuring vegetation in savannas, especially in Africa where
large mammal herbivore communities remain intact. Exclusion experiments consistently …

Grasslands and their grazers provide some of the most compelling examples for studying
the relationship between diversity, productivity, and disturbance. In this study, we analyzed …

Plant-animal interactions have become a focus of ecological research, with the processes of
herbivory being of special interest. This volume examines the interactions of leaf-cutting ants …

Physical, cultural and biological methods for weed control have developed largely
independently and are often concerned with weed control in different systems: physical and …

The impact that herbivore damage has on plant fitness depends on the environmental
conditions in which the plant is growing. It has long been assumed that a plant's tolerance of …

Does grazing by large wild mammals, an intense form of aboveground herbivory, influence
belowground productivity? The vast majority of literature data concentrate on short‐term pot …
