Changes Induced by Elk Browsing in the Aboveground Biomass Production and Distribution of Willow (Salix monticola Bebb): Their Relationships with Plant Water, Carbon, and Nitrogen Dynamics

Willows are dominant woody plants of many high-elevation riparian areas of the western USA, and constitute an important food resource for various ungulates, which tend to concentrate in riparian areas. The response of willow to browsing was analyzed in the elk winter range of Rocky Mountain National...
