Impact Type | Habitat Alteration |
Study Type | Experimental |
Study Location | Field |
Impact Description | Above-ground biomass, below-ground production, soil elevation, and the expansion of the root zone decreased due to Nutria (Myocastor coypus) herbivory. Litter production, the rate of soil surface accretion, and shallow soil subsidence were all higher in grazed vs ungrazed plots, while soil organic matter and bulk density did not differ significantly between treatments. |
