Data and Code:Scale-dependent effects of herbivory on bryophyte communities in Arctic wetlands: A 25-year experiment ...
Our study explored how snow goose foraging activity alters bryophytes community composition via direct effects on alpha and beta diversity and indirectly by changing the strength of competitive interactions between bryophyte species. To do so, we surveyed the abundance of individual bryophyte specie...
