Foraging decisions underlying restricted space use: effects of fire and forage maturation on large herbivore nutrient uptake

Recent models suggest that herbivores optimize nutrient intake by selecting patches of low to intermediate vegetation biomass. We assessed the application of this hypothesis to plains bison (Bison bison) in an experimental grassland managed with fire by estimating daily rates of nutrient intake in r...
