Density-dependent switches in diet:A likely mechanism for negative feedbacks on goose population increase?

Goose grazing on arctic tundra vegetation has shown both positive and negative effects on subsequent foraging conditions. To understand the potential of a density-dependent feedback on herbivore population size, the relation between grazing pressure and future foraging conditions is essential. We st...
