Red deer dung increases species diversity but does not influence species composition of open grasslands
Original language description
Our results indicate that endozoochorous seed dispersal by red deer impacts vegetation dynamics of this open grassland landscape, but effects are weak and diminish with time. Considering the large seed load in dung, it is possible that endozoochorous seeds from wild herbivores are incorporated into the soil seed bank, where they persist until appropriate ecological conditions for germination arise. Does deer poop influence vegetation? The answer seems to be 'it depends'. When deer drop dung into fully grown vegetation, the effect is close to zero. But when deer poop into disturbed vegetation with bare soil, more species appear, even though this effect does not last long.
