Can Wapiti (Cervus elaphus) Browsing Stimulate the Chemical Defense of Taxus cuspidata—A Case of Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We study that browsing by wapiti reduces the growth of saplings, and it develop chemical defenses to prevent themselves browsed again. These results reduce our concern about wapiti browse T. cuspidate saplings, and provide basic data for the study of the interaction between them, and also provide theoretical basis for the population restoration and ...
