How does timing of browsing affect above- and below-ground growth of Betula pendula, Pinus sylvestris and Sorbus aucuparia?

Article Abstract:

The above- and below-ground responses of three browse species, with different growth strategies; to simulated browsing damage at different times of the year were examined. It was found that the compensatory growth by the two deciduous species, Betula pendula and Sorbus aucuparia, resulted in few biomass differences by the end of the year of damage as compared to controls, but both above- and below-ground growth of clipped Pinus sylvestris was poor, which gave strong differences between control, dormant, and budburst clipped saplings.

Andromeda polifolia L

Article Abstract:

Andromeda polifolia L. is a low evergreen shrub with flowering stems that are decumbent to erect and originating from a creeping, woody rhizome. Its leaves are narrow to linear with a dark green color at the top and is silvery-glaucous at the bottom. This species can no longer be found in southern and central England and in some parts of Scotland. However, it has been reintroduced in Somerset. It can be found in the Central Plain region in Ireland from Antrim, east and west Mayo.
