Forest ungulate (deer, elk, and moose) herbivory is a type of chronic disturbance that has shaped the composition and structure of many pre-historic and historic forest ecosystems throughout North America and Eurasia. Like other types of natural disturbance, ungulate browsing and grazing can be expressed in terms of periodicity, severity, extent, intensity, duration, and legacy effects. Attempts to successfully integrate the management of ungulate herbivory with social goals have been often been hampered by social conflict, perverse incentives, and the absence of strong guidance from ecological theory. The purpose of this session is to bring together a diversity of perspectives and case studies that explore the concept of sustainable ungulate herbivory in forest landscapes. Speakers will examine positive and negative ungulate influences on vegetation, interactions involving ungulates and other wildlife, lessons learned from specific case studies, and emerging opportunities for sustainable ungulate management.
