THE IMPORTANCE OF SALT LICKS AND OTHER SOURCES OF SODIUM IN THE ECOLOGY OF THE USSURI MOOSE (ALCES ALCES CAMELOIDES)
The most important sources of sodium for moose (Alces alces) in Sikhote–Alin are: (1) freshwater aquatic vegetation (river, lake, and bog); (2) marine water and algae; and (3) sodium–saturated ground waters and soils at salt licks. The distribution of local sources of sodium essentially determines t...
