Abstract

• Monroe Mountain in Fishlake National Forest has experienced rising herbivory pressure from elk, deer, and cattle in its stable aspen forest.
• Stable aspen stands have minimal conifers, low stand turnover, and rare disturbances.
• We looked at how herbivory patterns change over time under different treatments on Monroe Mountain.
