LAND: Ecosystem Finnmark (EcoFinn): Ungulate overabundance, trophic cascades and subsidies

We will use the framework of current food web theory for elucidating two likely cascading ecosystem impacts of reindeer overabundance in Finnmark. One cascade we predict to be induced by loss and fragmentation of riparian willow habitats due to reindeer o verbrowsing, which in turn lead to loss o...
