This one's been a long time coming, but very pleased that our latest paper is now out in @ESAMonographs!. Herbivore regulation of savanna vegetation: Structural complexity, diversity, and the complexity–diversity relationship.
esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com
Large mammalian herbivores exert strong top-down control on plants, which in turn influence most ecological processes. Accordingly, the decline, displacement, or extinction of wild large herbivores...

In addition to directly modifying plant architecture, herbivores also affect vegetation structure by altering diversity: more diverse plant communities tend to be more structurally complex, a result consistent with our recent review in @JEcology .

Vegetation structural complexity (VSC) is an important ecosystem trait that is typically associated with greater ecological functioning. Recent studies have also revealed that more diverse plant...

Using high-resolution LiDAR and long-term herbivore exclosure data from @mpala_rc, we show that large herbivores directly and indirectly affect vegetation structure in an African savanna.

Thanks @NDscience and @NotreDame for supporting @Max_P_Scheel's work -- so cool to see this go from learning, to planning, to implementation!.
Knowledge is growing 🌾🌱. This week, @NotreDame students are working alongside professor Ryan Sensenig to plant prairie grass and other native plants in the area surrounding the Jordan Hall of Science. @Max_P_Scheel, a doctoral student in @NDBios, developed the planting plan.
