The response of small mammal communities to cattle grazing on a coastal meadow

Schmidt N. M., Olsen H.

Polish Journal of Ecology

2003

Vol. 51, nr 1

79-84

The response of small mammals to cattle grazing on a coastal meadow with three different grazing intensities was evalued. Grazed areas tended to hold fewer small mammals than the ungrazed control area, though the variation was high. The negative effect of grazing increased with grazing intensity. Small mammals were caught almost exclusively in patches of high, dense vegetation, and it is suggested that the negative effect of grazing results from the reduced number of such patches. Grazing also affected small mammal species richness, where richness was generally lower in the area of high grazing intensity than in areas with low grazing intensity or without grazing.
