Deer Browse - Summer Woody - Thousand Islands Browse surveys occur yearly in July-August 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. The number of seedlings (5 – 30 cm) and saplings (30 – 200 cm) of each tree species are counted. Seedling recruitment is correlated with herbivore abundance and provides an efficient method to assess browse pressure in forest ecosystems. 2018-02-15 Parks Canada Josh.VanWieren@pc.gc.ca Nature and EnvironmentHyperabundant SpeciesHerbivoreDeerBrowseThousand IslandsOntario Deer Browse - Summer Woody - Thousand Islands - DataCSV https://124gc.sharepoint.com/:x:/s/external/_layouts/15/download.aspx/ETqivQFkNx9Igwpd_gy-LUoB7g8BKLCYxUSZUKEzRFfA_g?e=QvKdPw Deer Browse - Summer Woody - Thousand Islands - Data DictionaryCSV https://124gc.sharepoint.com/:x:/s/external/_layouts/15/download.aspx/Edk5_yK_WLhPoBeMVPI6URkBEoq3RJelYLHko-ukGRFVaQ?e=6mRsFH
