“…A similar pattern was also found for the response of woodland species to ungulates in temperate forests (Putman 1996). According to Kramer et al (2006), large herbivores show a tendency to stay in open areas, mostly because of the higher digestibility of the grasses. In our study area, buffalo did not use the forest permanently because they did not feed preferentially on forest plants, but looked for shelter there on rainy and very hot days (personal observation of authors).…”

“…Because there is a lack of agreement in the literature on plant damage caused by mammalian herbivores, new studies that may provide insights into plant and animal processes at different scales are necessary. In forests inhabited by native ungulates, some authors argue that there is a need for system-oriented studies, encompassing a number of variables (in respect of plants and herbivores), instead of focussing on specific cases (Kramer et al 2006). On the other hand, there are gaps in basic knowledge about the impact of large exotic herbivores on forest areas.…”

“…Another disadvantage of our optimization was that the impact of ungulates was not directly incorporated into modelling, meaning that scientific evidence on the effectiveness of silviculture for silver fir conservation versus ungulate population control is only deductive. However, the relationship between forest management, ungulates and natural regeneration has been quantified in spatially-explicit processbased models (Kramer et al 2006) or gap models (Didion et al 2011). A noticeable shortcoming of these models is that they do not optimize forest management or game culling simultaneously with modelling to optimally distribute the burden of tree species conservation between silviculture and game management.…”

“…To some extent, forest management may act in the same manner as large scale disturbances, and Kramer et al (2006) found clear spatial interactions between forest management and ungulate browsing, with small-scale mosaic-type variation illustrating the importance of fluctuating herbivore density in relation to forest type and forest management. Rammig et al (2007) simulated the regeneration of a subalpine forest after a major windstorm and explored how varying browsing pressure affects re-vegetation.…”
