Density‐dependent responses of moose to hunting and landscape change

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence
In many areas of the boreal forests and temperate mountains of Canada, resource extraction activities have created forage conditions that are favourable to the growth of moose (Alces alces) populations. In turn, these increased moose populations buoy the
