Deer Browse - Spring - Thousand Islands

Deer Browse - Spring - Thousand Islands Browse surveys occur in early spring and are conducted by park staff. Each plot is composed of nine circular subplots (2-m radius) in a 3 x 3 grid, spaced at 15 m intervals. Browse pressure of woody species 30 cm – 2 m tall is assessed visually. Seedling recruitment is correlated with herbivore abundance and provides an efficient method to assess browse pressure in forest ecosystems. 2024-04-14 Parks Canada Josh.VanWieren@pc.gc.ca Nature and EnvironmentHyperabundant SpeciesHerbivoreDeerBrowseThousand IslandsOntario Deer Browse - Spring - Thousand Islands - DataCSV https://open.canada.ca/data/dataset/d7a10e3a-672d-41d2-aea1-ab6fe5c5e344/resource/a9e2cc8f-64eb-47eb-83be-f3b8a605c54b/download/thousand_islands_np_deer_browse_spring_2011-2017_data.csv
