Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Grazing responses varied significantly among forb species, ungulate species, fire regimes and life-history stages.
- Intervention effect Baptisia bracteata increased in growth and reproduction at grazed sites.
- Intervention effect Oenothera speciosa increased in growth and reproduction at grazed sites.
- Intervention effect Vernonia baldwinii increased in growth and reproduction at grazed sites.
- Intervention effect Some forb performance declined in grazed sites, possibly from ungulate activities other than grazing.
- Observation None of the studied forbs was directly eaten by bison or cattle.
- Intervention effect Large grazers had no detectable effect on forb damage frequency from other herbivores or pathogens.
- Association Grazer effects on flowering and seed production did not align with effects on population densities.
