A comparison of riparian plant community response to herbivory by beavers ( Castor canadensis) and ungulates in Canada's boreal mixed-wood forest

Herbivores, such as beavers ( Castor canadensis) and ungulates, can dramatically alter the species composition and structure of riparian vegetation communities. We examined how four different levels of beaver presence and ungulate density influenced the structure and composition of riparian vegetati...
