Rewilding with large herbivores: The importance of grazing refuges for sapling establishment and wood-pasture formation

2015-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Rewilding is a novel nature management type that aims at restoring natural processes with minimal human intervention. It is increasingly employed on abandoned agricultural lands in Europe, but empirical studies are scarce. Rewilding may lead to formation of wood-pastures, arguably the primeval landscape in parts of Europe before Neolithic times. We investigated sapling establishment, a key process for wood-pasture...
