BG1-4: Vertebrate herbivory has strong effects on biogeochemical processes throughout succession.

Also, see Herbivore exclosures

We will expand our long-term vertebrate exclosure study by adding a permanent exclosure (15 X 15 m) to each mid- and late-successional site (n=3) in both the floodplain and upland forests within BCEF. These plots will be incorporated into our long-term sampling of soil climate, vegetation growth and litterfall.
