Does intensive goose grazing affect breeding waders?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
Increasing goose population sizes gives rise to conflicts with human socioeconomic interests and in some circumstances conservation interests. Grazing by high abundances of geese in grasslands is postulated to lead to a very short and homogeneous sward ...
