Sheep in Species-Rich Temperate Grassland: Combining Behavioral Observations with Vegetation Characterization
Foraging behavior of livestock in species-rich, less intensively managed grassland communities will require different methodologies from those appropriate in floristically simple environments. In this pilot study on sheep in species-rich grassland in northern Estonia, foraging behavior and the plant...
