“…However, P. jezoensis has been heavily debarked in some areas in Japan (Yokoyama et al 2001;Ando et al 2003), indicating that palatability of debarking may be affected by surrounding vegetation (Moore et al 1999;McLaren et al 2000). Therefore, P. jezoensis saplings at the sites examined in the present study may be debarked in the future if the deer density increases.…”

“…Debarking was shown to depend on the size of trees (e.g., Nagaike and Hayashi 2003;Koda and Fujita 2011;Borkowski and Ukalski 2012), their species (e.g., Kay 1993;Akashi and Nakashizuka 1999;Moore et al 1999;Takeuchi et al 2011), proportion of coniferous stands (Ligot et al 2013), the distance from forest road (McLaren et al 2000), and snow depth (Iijima and Nagaike 2015). In addition to these factors, spatial variation of deer impact was observed in lower elevation forests: the higher the deer density, the higher the proportion of debarked trees (Iijima and Nagaike 2015) and browsed saplings (Akashi et al 2011) and the lower the sapling density (Beguin et al 2009).…”

Background: Recently, deer have expanded their distribution to higher altitude ranges including subalpine forests. However, culling deer and construction of deer fence in subalpine forests are difficult because of steep slopes and complex topography. Thus it is necessary to clarify the factors which are associated with debarking by deer for the effective protection of subalpine forests. In this study, we examined which factors are associated with debarking by sika deer (Cervus nippon) in subalpine coniferous forests. Methods: We conducted our survey in Minami-Alps National Park, central Japan. We established 24 10 m × 40 m plots and surveyed the occurrence of debarking on saplings >30 cm in height and <3 cm in diameter at breast height (DBH) and on trees >3 cm in DBH, as well as sapling density within each plot. Minimum distances to nearest grassland of plots were calculated (tentatively assuming grassland would attract deer and would cause high debarking pressure in the surrounding subalpine forests).

The Victorian data are currently being subjected to additional analysis ( J.…”

This paper is based on research currently being carried out by Julian Di Stefano, an ecologist with the Victorian Department of Sustainability and Environment ( julian.distefano@dse.vic.gov.au). The project was instigated in response to the need for collaboration between managers and ecologists regarding the management of mammalian browsing in commercially managed native forests.Summary Ecosystem management often proceeds within the context of sub-optimal relationships between ecologists and ecosystem managers, and management outcomes could be improved with greater collaboration between members of these disciplines. This paper identifies an ecosystem management problem resulting from the interaction between timber harvesting and browsing wallabies, and this case study is used to exemplify how ecological data and expertise can contribute to the process of ecosystem management. It is argued that appropriate use of existing ecological data, establishment of strategic new research and the implementation of management actions as experimental hypothesis tests can facilitate achievement of management objectives, but greater collaboration between ecologists and managers is required before this can occur. Reasons for sub-optimal relationships are outlined, and the potential for structural change within large State-run ecosystem management agencies to improve interactions between managers and ecologists is discussed.
