Some populations of large herbivores are at the brink of extinction, some are under discussion for reintroduction, whilst others already occur in dense populations causing conflicts with other land use. Large herbivores are the major drivers for forming the shape and function of terrestrial ecosystems. This 2006 book addresses the scientifically based action plans to manage both the large herbivore populations and their habitats worldwide. It covers the processes by which large herbivores not only affect their environment (e.g. grazing) but are affected by it (e.g. nutrient cycling) and the management strategies required. Also discussed are new modeling techniques, which help assess integration processes in a landscape context, as well as assessing the consequences of new developments in the processes of conservation. This book will be essential reading for all involved in the management of both large herbivores and natural resources. 410 0$aConservation biology series (Cambridge, England) ;$v11. 517 3 $aLarge Herbivore Ecology, Ecosystem Dynamics & Conservation 606 $aUngulates$xEcology 606 $aHerbivores$xEcology 606 $aPlants$xEffect of grazing on 606 $aPlants$xEffect of browsing on 606 $aAnimal-plant relationships 606 $aUngulates$xConservation 606 $aHerbivores$xConservation 615 0$aUngulates$xEcology. 615 0$aHerbivores$xEcology. 615 0$aPlants$xEffect of grazing on. 615 0$aPlants$xEffect of browsing on. 615 0$aAnimal-plant relationships. 615 0$aUngulates$xConservation. 615 0$aHerbivores$xConservation. 676 $a599.6171 686 $a42.90$2bcl 702 $aDanell$b Kjell 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784441003321 996 $aLarge herbivore ecology, ecosystem dynamics, and conservation$93675858 997 $aUNINA
