Intensity of red deer browsing on young rowans differs between freshly-felled and standing individuals
Original language description
Because red deer (Cervus elaphus) forage extensively on woody plants, browsing is a serious problem in forest stands especially in initial growth stages. In Slovakia, rowans (Sorbus aucuparia) are the most attractive tree species for red deer, and when present, they may serve to divert the attention of foraging red deer from commercial forest stands. In this study we compared the extent of herbivory by red deer on standing and freshly felled rowans within a mixed conifer forest. We quantified the biomass of stem bark, branch bark and whole branches consumed by red deer on 60 rowans between 200 and 600 cm tall within young stands that regenerated after a large scale windstorm in the Tatra National Park, Northern Slovakia. We calculated the dry biomass of browsed branches using allometric relationships with branch diameter and browsed bark biomass from the product of the area of consumed bark and specific surface mass of bark. We found that the extent and intensity of browsing was much higher on felled
