Combining paleo-data and modern exclosure experiments to assess the impact of megafauna extinctions on woody vegetation
Until recently in Earth history, very large herbivores (mammoths, ground sloths, diprotodons,
and many others) occurred in most of the World's terrestrial ecosystems, but the majority …
