Vole impact on tree regeneration: insights into forest management
In Europe, much of the damage to tree seedlings in plantations is caused by rodents, such as common vole (Microtus arvalis), field vole (M. agrestis) and bank vole (Myodes glareolus). To understand the relationships between the environmental variability which may influence the rodent impact in fores...
