Dataset of plant communities treated by different herbivore dung quality, quantity and type of grazing

The dataset was derived from a 3-year mesocosm experiment designed to
examine the effects of herbivore dung quantity, quality, and grazing type
on plant community productivity and diversity. It includes data on five
levels of dung quantity from three herbivore species (rabbit, horse, and
European bison), each differing in dung quality (N:P ratio). The
experiment also incorporated three grazing treatments: no grazing, bulk
grazing, and selective grazing of legume plants. Measurements include
plant community productivity, species diversity, light availability, and
the abundance of specific plant types. The dataset captures interactions
between dung type, grazing, and plant responses, providing insights into
the complex roles of herbivores in shaping terrestrial ecosystems.
