摘要: The study of herbivory in relation to ecosystem science has been closely related the methodological procedures outlined by Darwin these lines. Ecologists have attempted quantify a variety ways and systems, much like quantified consumption weed seedlings. They tried simulate through defoliation, mowing, fertilization, artificial trampling, used mown turf as substitute for lawn grazed quadrupeds. Finally, they relied on herbivore exclusion fencing or poisoning, did assess effect cattle fir populations.
