Can I read Increased thorn length in Acacia depranolobium ?an induced response to browsing on EtoBox?
Increased thorn length in Acacia depranolobium ?an induced response to browsing by T. P. Young is a Environmental Science article available to read on EtoBox.
What is Increased thorn length in Acacia depranolobium ?an induced response to browsing about?
I report here longer thorns induced by large mammal herbivory on the tree Acacia depranolobium. I compared trees that had been browsed by domestic goats to trees protected from goat browsing. Thorns on browsed branches within the reach of goats (<125 cm above the ground) were significantly longer than thorns from higher branches on the same browsed trees, and significantly longer than branches at similar heights on unbrowsed trees. It appears that increased thorn length was an induced response to large mammal herbivory in Acacia depranolobium, both among and within individual trees.
Who reads Increased thorn length in Acacia depranolobium ?an induced response to browsing?
It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Environmental Science.
