摘要:
The moose choice of birch clones was studied by offering nine clones of European white birch plantlets to free‐ranging moose in a field cafeteria experiment. Twig quality, especially the defensive chemical content, affected moose feeding preference. Moose took a bite of larger diameter but tended to consume less from clones with a high phenol content. Moose preferred clones with small current annual shoots and few resin droplets.
