Effects of chronic herbivory and historic land use on population structure of a forest perennial, Trillium catesbaei
Jenkins MA, Webster CR, Rock JH. 2007. Effects of chronic herbivory and historic land use on population structure of a forest perennial, Trillium catesbaei. Applied Vegetation Science. 10(3):441-450
An examination of T. catesbaei populations at three sites: Cades Cove, Whiteoak Sink, and Leadbetter Ridge, where results show that chronic herbivory has likely caused the loss of herbaceous species and may eventually cause the local extirpation of T. catesbaei populations.
