Pegau, RE 1970: Effect of reindeer trampling and grazing on lichens. - Jour. Range Management23: 95-97. [RLL List # 75 / Rec.# 14298] Keywords: REINDEER/ FOOD/ TRAMPLING DAMAGE/ ECOLOGY/ ALASKA/ TUNDRA
Abstract: 3 fig. ["A herd of approximately 500 reindeer was herded over a nonutilized portion of a large Eriophorum-Carex-dwarf shrub meadow near Nome, Alaska, during both moist and dry conditions. After one summer of use on approximately 17 sections by the reindeer, 68% of the lichens were dislodged and 16% were scattered into segments less than 1/2 inch. On summer ranges where lichens comprise at least 30% of the available forage, at least 15% of the lichens should be considered as unavailable because of trampling by reindeer."]
