Abstract:
Large herbivores are important components of rewilding. However, populations can grow fast: we predict that, where top-down control is insufficient, herbivores could undermine long-term rewilding goals. To avoid this, nature-mimicking interventions are required to achieve the right amount of herbivory, in the right place, at the right time through the rewilding process.
摘要:
大型食草动物是野化的重要组成部分。然而,人口可以快速增长:我们预测,自上而下的控制不足,食草动物可能会破坏长期的野化目标。为了避免这种情况,需要模仿自然的干预措施来实现适量的食草动物,在正确的地方,在正确的时间通过重新粉饰过程。
