saplings and mother trees
Note:The red is the foraging area, and the blue is the area where
Japanese yew grows
3.3.2 Foraging intensity
According to the infrared camera monitoring and field investigation
results, the Siberian roe deer browsed lightly (10%–20%) on
the saplings , foraging on ports 1– 3 cm from the newborn
lateral branch of the current year with inconspicuous traces and small
foraging ports. The forage intensity of wapiti was high
(70%–100%) , and most of the branches and leaves and the foraging
ports were not neat (Figure 8).
