DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9201
Abstract: Abstract The recovery of carnivore populations in North American has consequences for trophic interactions and population dynamics of prey. In addition to direct effects on prey populations through killing, predators can influence prey behavior by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.fcr.2017.02.003
Abstract: Abstract The phenological stage at harvest time is crucial for various forage production traits in many forage grasses. Heading date is considered as a good compromise for attaining high yields combined with high forage quality.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rama.2018.10.004
Abstract: Abstract Black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) have high dietary overlap with livestock, which can cause forage-centric conflicts between agriculture and conservation. Research suggests prairie dogs can enhance forage quality, but trade-offs between quality and quantity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rama.2021.01.004
Abstract: ABSTRACT Prairie dogs can reduce the carrying capacity on rangelands by up to 50% through direct consumption of vegetation and by clipping plants. Studies have shown that forage quality and digestibility are greater on prairie… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/ac09af
Abstract: Northern herbivore ranges are expanding in response to a warming climate. Forage quality also influences herbivore distributions, but less is known about the effects of climate change on plant biochemical properties. Remote sensing could enable… read more here.
