“…It is important to note that we only looked at two food species. While moose consume birch and fireweed heavily in some areas during the summer (Cederlund et al 1980 ; Sæther et al 1996 ), moose diets during the growing season are diverse and can vary over time (e.g., fireweed consumption spikes in August; Cederlund et al 1980 ), across habitat types (Spitzer et al 2020 ), with availability of different forage species (Wam and Hjeljord 2010 ), and with deer densities (Spitzer et al 2021 ). It is, therefore, important to determine if other woody browse and herbaceous forage species (particularly those that make up a large proportion of the moose summer diet) show similar nutritional relationships with temperature and precipitation as do birch and fireweed.…”

“…We did not find an effect of treatment on the keystone species V. myrtillus , which has recently decreased in abundance in the boreal region of Sweden (Hedwall et al 2013 ). This species is utilized by a wide range of organisms such as insects, ungulates, and brown bears, but is also a common plant for berry picking (Atlegrim 1989 ; Vaara et al 2013 ; Hertel et al 2016 ; Spitzer et al 2021 ). It is negatively affected by logging, but then gradually recovers (Atlegrim and Sjöberg 1996 ; Bergstedt and Milberg 2001 ; Hedwall et al 2013 ).…”

“…I ett flerartssystem med älg och andra hjortdjur kan det vara svårare att hitta en bra balans mellan tätheten och betesskador på grund av inom-och mellanartsinteraktioner (Pfeffer m fl. 2021, Spitzer m fl. 2021.…”

“…2021. Till exempel ser vi att tall utgör en större andel -och att bärris en mindre andel av älgens kost i områden med hög förekomst av de mindre hjortarterna (rådjur, dovhjort och kronhjort) jämfört med områden där tätheten av de mindre hjortdjuren är lägre (Spitzer m fl. 2021).…”
