Past and present biomass consumption by herbivores and fire across productivity gradients in North America

Past and present biomass consumption by herbivores and fire across productivity gradients in North America

Herbivores and fire are important consumers of plant biomass that influence vegetation structure, nutrient cycling, and biodiversity globally. Departures from historic biomass consumption patterns due to wild herbivore losses, livestock proliferation, and altered fire regimes can have critical ecolo...
