Mechanisms linking plant species richness to foraging of a large herbivore

L Wang, D Wang, Z He, G Liu… - Journal of Applied …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
There is general concern that local loss of plant diversity will adversely impact net primary
productivity and other ecosystem properties. However, mechanisms linking plant diversity
with other trophic levels, especially for large herbivores, are poorly understood. 2. We
examine the responses of foraging sheep to changes in plant species richness in an indoor
cafeteria experiment involving six plant species richness levels (1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 11 species)
and three plant functional group compositions within each level, and in a field experiment …
