A Process to Monitor and Manage Ungulate Browsing Pressure
2011
Overview
Plant communities are monitored to prevent ungulate browsing from having an adverse effect on habitat. The monitoring process described in this paper applies to plant species capable of growing through the browse zone, and uses two measurements (percent intensely browsed and LD Index) to detennine if browsing will prevent the height growth of a young plant. To determine the potential effect of browsing on habitat structure, two variables are compared: 1) Existing browsing pressure is the percent of young plants that browsing is predicted to preventfrom growing to foil height. 2) Threshold browsing pressure is the percent of young plants that must grow to foil height to attain a specified habitat strncture. The process includes specifying target conditions, data collection and analysis, and refinement based on that analysis. The process requires a long-tenn commitment, but a minimal investment of time each year. By repeating the process over aperiod of years, the effects of browsing are documented and steps in the process are refined. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
