MARC recordDiet selection by vertibrate herbivores in the high arctic of Greenland / David R. Klein, Christian Bay.
| Title: | Diet selection by vertibrate herbivores in the high arctic of Greenland / David R. Klein, Christian Bay. |
| Author(s): | Klein, David R. Bay, Christian. |
| Date: | 1991. |
| In: | Holarctic Ecology. (1991.), Vol. 14(2) (1991) |
| Abstract: | Study carried out in Peary and Kronprins Christian lands, July-August 1987. Microhistological analysis of faecal droppings indicates that graminoids and Salix arctica are primary food items of muskox [Ovibos moschatus], Arctic hare [Lepus arcticus] and collared lemming [Dicrostonyx groenlandicus]. Plant biomass available during growing season varied with vegetation types from <2 g m⁻² in polar barrens to 34 g m⁻² in sedge fens. Clustered distribution of vegetation minimizes competition among vertebrate herbivores. |
