    Differential effects of goat browsing on herbaceous plant community in a two-phase mosaic

    The impact of herbivores on herbaceous plant communities is usually attributed to direct consumption of plants. We hypothesized that goats affect herbaceous plants both directly (consumption by foraging) and i...
