Abstract. We studied the impact of livestock grazing on the distribution of Branta bernicla bernicla (Dark-bellied Brent goose) in the Dutch Wadden Sea during spring. It was hypoth-esized that livestock facilitate short-term (within-season) graz-ing for geese as well as long-term (over years). There...
