How much phytomass is at the herbivores diposal? |
Rocks and boulder fields harbour only sparce vegetation other than lichens and mosses. But a large grassland area and the timberline ecotone provide highly productive environments for herbivore species. Alpine vegetation is comparable to lowland vegetation regarding the monthly net primary production, but differentiates strongly in the length of growing season and thus in the annual net primary production. |
