These data, coupled with deer management programs, will allow us to both assess the impact deer are having on the survival of native species and evaluate the effectiveness of various deer management strategies across the region.The Impact of Deer Overabundance on Forest RegenerationChristensonLynnKellyVickyDeppenJamieVanCampKeriCharlopLindsaySienerHillaryAitchisonDanNapoliMeganNagyChrisSandersonErinLongElizabethViviritoMichaelFerreriCatherineRhoadsAnneBegley-MillerDanielleKarpatiAmygrowthherbivoryregenerationforest healthEMMAwhite-tailed deersaplingodocoileus virginianusdeer browseenclosureDeer Exclosure Monitoring Sapling Data for Mianus River Gorge2011-01-01Data collected on saplings in paired exclosed and unexclosed plots at Mianus River GorgeTo contribute to an initiative led by the <a href='http://www.uvm.edu/vmc/emma/'>The Environmental Monitoring and Management Alliance (EMMA)</a> to examine the effect of overabundance of white-tailed deer on forest regeneration in urban and rural preserves throughout the Hudson Valley20191011120033_MRG_EMMA_saplingplots.xlsxVMC.347.2131mySQLEnvironmental Monitoring & Management Alliance. 2016.
