abstract

  • The absolute abundance of all tree species decreased and the relative abundance of the species most preferred in 1983 had also decreased by 1988. Browse preference had also changed over time. Species which were more frequently browsed suffered significantly greater mortality over the time period than less frequently browsed species but differential browsing did not result in height class differences between surviving stems of the 2 aspen species present. -from Authors
