Vpliv prostoživečih velikih rastlinojedov na travniške ekosisteme

Free-ranging large herbivores are keystone species in terrestrial ecosystems, and have an important ecological role by affecting both the structure and the function of plant communities and other groups of organisms. Large herbivores often increase plant diversity especially in more product...
