Herbaceous forage and selection patterns by ungulates across varying herbivore assemblages in a South African Savanna.

Herbaceous forage and selection patterns by ungulates across varying herbivore assemblages in a South African Savanna.

Herbivores generally have strong structural and compositional effects on vegetation, which in turn determines the plant forage species available. We investigated how selected large mammalian herbivore assemblages use and alter herbaceous vegetation structure and composition in a southern African sav...
