Limited short-term impact of lemming grazing on vascular plants under experimentally reduced predation in the High Arctic

Population fluctuations of lemmings in the High Arctic appear to be driven by predator–prey interactions. However, lemming grazing can sometimes have a strong impact on the vegetation during population peaks, suggesting a possible role of plant–herbivore interactions. We use a large-scale experiment...
