Plant and small-mammal responses to large-herbivore exclusion in an African savanna: five years of the UHURU experiment.

Assessing the direct and indirect consequences of nonrandom species removal within guilds of strongly interacting species, such as large mammalian herbivores, is an important goal in basic and applied ecology. The ecological impacts of such perturbations are often contingent on abiotic conditions, which have hindered efforts to generalize the results...MORE
