Impact of large herbivores on mountain forest stands in the Beskydy Mountains.
Original language description
The impacts of Lepus europaeus, Capreolus capreolus and Cervus elaphus on woody species were investigated in the Beskydy Mountains, Czech Republic, 950-1257 m a.s.l.) in relation to forest management. The study focused on the question of whether large herbivores may prevent shrub layer development, and thereby disturb natural forest regeneration. Rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) was used as a model woody species for the study. Moderate winter browsing (approx. 30%) was determined by the fact that roe deer and red deer stay in the region only from spring to autumn and tend to move to lower altitudes during the period of continuous snow cover. Summer browsing is low (approx 10%) as a result of a plentiful availability of good quality food in the vegetation period. For the Kněhyně biocentre management, it appears unnecessary to take any regulation measures to reduce the impact of large herbivores on vegetation. Similar conclusions would probably apply to other mountain areas under the same condit
