“…Furthermore, social behavior may affect nutrient release. When herbivores defecate in common latrines, they concentrate nutrients in the landscape (e.g., rhinos, rabbits, horses), which function as hotspots of nutrients, possibly with a low N:P ratio, though data are scarce and not fully consistent regarding the effect on soil P (see Edwards and Hollis, 1982;Willott et al, 2000;Jewell et al, 2007). In this respect, there are similarities and differences between terrestrial and aquatic habitats.…”

“…At medium scale (10-100 m), the spatial patterning of dung pat density is generally heterogeneous inside a paddock, especially for a large paddock with various habitats and low stocking rate (White et al, 2001;Jewell et al, 2005;Kohler et al, 2006). In case this spatial pattern persists over years, it can lead to a redistribution of nutrients over the paddock, which in turn can induce a directional drift in plant succession (Jewell et al, 2007). At fine scale (0.1-10 m) and short term (one season) the patchiness of dung deposition has a direct impact on local vegetation dynamics by altering biotic interactions and nutrient availability.…”

“…Pastoral management is one of the most important drivers of soil and plant nutrient 52 concentration in alpine pastures, due to the removal and accumulation of nutrients that livestock 53 exert by grazing and deposing dung and urine, respectively (Jewell et al, 2007;Lonati et al, 54 2015). The concentration of soil nutrients, mainly nitrogen and phosphorous, affects plant 55 diversity and forage yield and quality as well (Güsewell et al, 2012;Gardarin et al, 2014).…”
