The amount of forage consumed by moose from 15 October to 1 May was calculated using 2 computer simulation models. These models predict daily forage intake of moose based on nutrient requirements, physiological constraints, and forage quality. Each exclosure was stocked during winter with a number of moose to remove a different amount of paper birch current annual growth (CAG). Tagged paper birch shrubs Were measured before and after browsing to determine the utilization level of CAG.</p> ER -
