Local nutrient hotspots shape red deer habitat selection in a nutrient-poor landscape

2026-08-17

Abstract excerpt

Nutrient availability in many temperate ecosystems is shaped by soil properties and historical land use. Especially in otherwise nutrient-poor landscapes human-induced, local fertilisation can generate fine-scale mosaics of nutrient hotspots. Whether and how large herbivores respond to such heterogeneity remains poorly understood. We tested whether spatial variation in soil-derived nutrient availability structures...
