Abstract:
Browsing has been the core access method for the Web from its beginning. Analogously, one good practice for publishing data on the Web is to support dereferenceable URIs, to also enable plain web browsing by users. The information about one URI is usually presented through HTML tables (such as DBpedia and Wikidata pages) and graph representations (by using tools such as LODLive and LODMilla). In most cases, for an entity, the user gets all triples that have that entity as subject or as object. However, sometimes the number of triples is numerous. To tackle this issue, and to reveal similarity (and thus facilitate browsing), in this article we introduce an interactive similarity-based browsing system, called RDFsim, that offers “Parallel Browsing”, that is, it enables the user to see and browse not only the original data of the entity in focus, but also the K most similar entities of the focal entity. The similarity of entities is founded on knowledge graph embeddings; however, the indexes that we introduce for enabling real-time interaction do not depend on the particular method for computing similarity. We detail an implementation of the approach over specific subsets of DBpedia (movies, philosophers and others) and we showcase the benefits of the approach. Finally, we report detailed performance results and we describe several use cases of RDFsim.

Abstract:
Nowadays, a lot of data mining applications, such as web traffic analysis and content popularity prediction, leverage users’ web browsing trajectories to improve their performance. However, the disclosure of web browsing trajectory is the most prominent issue. A novel privacy model, named Differential Privacy, is used to rigorously protect user’s privacy. Some works have applied this privacy model to spatial-temporal streams. However, these works either protect the users’ activities in different places separately or protect their activities in all places jointly. The former one cannot protect trajectories that traverse multiple places; while the latter ignores the differences among places and suffers the degradation of data utility (i.e., data accuracy). In this paper, we propose a w , n -differential privacy to protect any spatial-temporal sequence occurring in w successive timestamps and n -range places. To achieve better data utility, we propose two implementation algorithms, named Spatial-Temporal Budget Distribution (STBD) and Spatial-Temporal RescueDP (STR). Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that these two algorithms can achieve a balance between data utility and trajectory privacy guarantee.

Abstract:
Picea mongolicaW. D. Xu is an endemic and endangered species that is only found in semiarid areas in north China. It has also been widely used as the forestation tree in China's "Three-North" shelterbelts construction. Although a National Natural Reserve has been set up for conserving the rare species, it always suffers from goat browsing, especially during the winter. Dendrochronology analysis is applied to understand the consequences of goat browsing onPicea mongolica's growth. Two sites with different types of trees were chosen side by side to compare the differences between shape, radial growth, height growth, and age of spruce saplings: (1) stunted and heavily browsed spruce, shorter than the browsing limit and (2) escaped spruce that were taller than the browsing limit but still browsed in their lower part. Under repeated and intense browsing, the shape in stunted spruce was compact and heavily ramified, and the same phenomenon was shown below the browsing limit in escaped spruce (1.05 ± 0.06 m), distinctly different from the shape of escaped spruce above the browsing limit. The results showed that the release of browsing pressure, once the tree reached the browsing limit, was characterized by an abrupt increase in radial growth. Before release, trees showed a growth stagnation characterized by annual rings (0.5 mm per year) and annual height (<5 cm per year) increments. After release, the increments of rings and height were 2 mm and 14 cm each year, respectively. We use this pattern to estimate the release ages and their possible variation over time. Age differences between stunted and escaped spruce were highly significant and indicate that, despite browsing, most, if not all, trees will ultimately reach the browsing limit and escape. Heavy goat pressure delayed spruce sapling recruitment by about 10 years. This delay varied in relation to site quality and seemed to have increased over time, suggesting an increase in browsing pressure.

Abstract:
Recent concern regarding the potential decline of quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) forests in the western United States has sparked concern over whether the species can be effectively regenerated. Using a retrospective approach, we quantified the response of regenerating aspen stems to an ordinary set of silvicultural treatments conducted over approximately the past decade in southern Utah, USA. A suite of variables describing stand structure and composition, stand vigor, physiographic factors, herbivore pressure, and treatment types were measured to predict the possible controls, as well as their relative importance, on aspen regeneration. Results suggested that aspen regeneration was most strongly related to browsing pressure, site preparation technique, and the presence of advance reproduction before treatment, which is a novel finding. Secondary predictors included elevation, site index, and overstory conditions, which are generally characteristics of stand vigor. Management recommendations based on our results should recognize the strong primary control that browsing pressure exerts on regeneration. First, the height of advance reproduction is inherently dependent on antecedent herbivory and also indicative of present browsing and should be assessed before treatment. Second, the most effective site preparation techniques, namely broadcast burning and browsing reduction, will directly reduce browsing pressure, assuming ungulate populations are not too large. Any management targeting timely and effective aspen regeneration should incorporate monitoring and (or) controlling browsing pressure, both before and after treatment.

Abstract:
Moose (Alces alces L.) browsing in Gros Morne National Park has damaged its balsam fir (Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.)-dominated forest. A forest estate model was used to evaluate (i) the impacts of moose browsing and woodcutting on forest succession and (ii) strategies of forest restoration through planting and moose population management. The simulation results show that under current heavy browsing pressure growing stock of balsam fir decreases by 38%, but the area of spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP and P. glauca (Moench) Voss) increases by 32% over a 100-year planning horizon, compared to that under light browsing scenario which is assumed to be similar to the forest outside the Park due to moose population management. Annual allowable cut (AAC) for the Park’s 19 400 ha domestic harvest area is estimated to be around 120 979 m3 in a light browsing scenario, 21% higher than the sustainable harvest level in a heavy browsing scenario. The model forecasts a 97% reforestation of the Park’s 7 194 ha disturbed area by planting in the heavy browsing scenario, leading to an increase in total forest growing stock by 22% and AAC by 12%. Integration of planting with moose population management could be a more efficient way of restoring forest under high browsing pressure in GMNP.

Abstract:
Exploration of heterogeneous data sources increases the value of information by allowing users to answer questions through exploration across multiple sources; Users can use information that has been posted across the Web to answer questions and learn about new domains. We have conducted research that lowers the interrogation time of faceted data, by combining related information from different sources. The work contributes methodologies in combining heterogenous sources, and how to deliver that data to a user interface scalably, with enough performance to support rapid interrogation of the knowledge by the user. The work also contributes how to combine linked data sources so that users can create faceted browsers that target the information facets of their needs. The work is grounded and proven in a number of experiments and test cases that study the contributions in domain research work.

The internet enables a computer user to be connected to virtually endless numbers of sites on the network. Massive amount of information is being pumped into the internet at a great rate around the clock. The World-Wide-Web (WWW) uses the internet to transmit hypermedia documents between computer users located around the world. Computer users only use a simple browser software (ie: Internet Explorer, Netscape) to view the hypermedia documents on a website. Large amount of interesting and valuable information has been made available on the web for retrieval, but these hypermedia documents are not often origanized and systematic. In order to fully utilize the power of the WWW as a gigantic information source, it is essential to develop intelligent software systems on top of the web to assist users to retrieve relevant documents. In this paper, we propose an architecture of the intelligent browsing agent and identify the key components of it. This agent is designed on a website and serves its members. This intelligent browsing agent can analyze the users` browsing behaviors to find their interesting topics and browsing patterns. Then it can assist users to browse the website by recommend users` interesting documents. In addition to, the agent can monitor to new information on the website to find any documents which users interest. If the agent find new information which users interest, it can ask the users to browse the website by e-mail. So the intelligent browsing agent can help the website to keep old browsing users and attract new people to visit the website.

Abstract:
Over-abundant koala populations and resultant over-browsing of vegetation has presented an ongoing challenge for wildlife managers in many areas of south-eastern Australia for almost a century. In 1996 over-browsing by koalas became evident in many areas of Kangaroo Island, and in riparian areas where preferred tree species occurred; the majority of food trees were severely defoliated. This project was one of a number of concurrent research projects which focussed on key aspects of koala ecology in order to better inform development of koala management strategies on Kangaroo Island. The main focus of the project was to investigate: • koala foraging behaviour • tree response to extent and pattern of defoliation • habitat use and tree preference in preferred and non-preferred habitats • regenerative potential of over-browsed tree species, • effect of sterilisation and translocation of koalas on tree health. The first part of the project involved conducting observations of the foraging behaviour of free-ranging koalas to better understand the spatial pattern of tree defoliation. Ten individually tagged and radio-collared koalas were observed for 24- hour periods on 34 occasions between August 1997 and December 1998. Koalas were found to restrict feeding bouts to one or two locations within the outer canopy of each tree they visited. Feeding was concentrated at these locations with browsed branches being almost completely defoliated. Based on these results artificial defoliation experiments were developed and used to determine the effect that pattern and extent of defoliation had on leaf production and recovery of trees. Defoliation treatments were applied to 50 manna gum trees at Flinders Chase National Park and Victor Harbor. Manna gum trees showed strong compensatory growth following artificial defoliation. New leaf production was particularly high on trees that where subjected to canopy-wide defoliation. In contrast, branches which experienced localised damage produced comparatively fewer leaves than branches on trees which had experienced canopy-wide defoliation. It appears that manna gum can be highly tolerant of one-off defoliation of the entire canopy, even when substantial quantities of foliage are lost, but that branches may not be as tolerant of high levels of herbivory if defoliated in isolation. This is a crucial consideration when determining carrying capacities of riparian habitats both during the recovery phase of already heavily defoliated trees and the long-term carrying capacities of these habitats and suggests that carrying capacity may not correlate directly with the ‘standing crop’ of leaves on trees within a given area of habitat. Between 1997 and 2000 koala numbers and tree health were monitored at Mine Creek to determine the effectiveness of sterilisation and translocation in reducing koala numbers and improving tree condition. Mine Creek has been the site of an intensive koala population control program since 1997 and presented an opportunity to test the effect of koala management techniques on tree health. There was a decline in koala population density at Mine Creek; principally in response to translocation rather than sterilisation. The reduction in koala density at Mine Creek was short-term and did not reach the target density of 1 koala/ha. Subsequently, tree canopy condition, particularly for the preferred browse species Eucalyptus viminalis cygnetensis, did not improve substantially. Two years after the commencement of the management program 59% of E. viminalis cygnetensis trees at Mine Creek remained severely defoliated. An increase in the population size of koalas was observed from mid-1999 onward, representing a potential doubling in the population every three years. Immigration of animals from surrounding uncontrolled areas is a potentially important mechanism of localised population recovery. An increase in koala numbers subsequent to control was unlikely to be due to in situ breeding, but instead immigration from surrounding uncontrolled areas of habitat (or areas where only sterilisation was undertaken and population densities remained high). Eucalypts have a high capacity for compensatory growth and recovery if browse pressure is removed. Where over-browsing occurs the imperative for successful restoration of defoliated trees is to substantially reduce the density of koalas in the short-term and maintain reduced population levels in the long-term. Sterilisation may be usefully applied to maintain low koala densities after an initial population reduction via alternative control methods, but sterilisation alone is unable to affect much change in severely over-browsed habitats in the immediate term. Utilisation of habitat by koalas in preferred and non-preferred tree associations on Kangaroo Island was investigated using radio-telemetry. A total of 25 koalas were radio-collared and tracked between 1997 and 2000. Preferred areas of habitat comprised of vegetation associations containing E. viminalis cygnetensis and non-preferred habitat typically consisted of an E. baxteri, E.obliqua, E.cosmophylla tree association. Observations indicated that a potentially viable, low density population of koalas occupied non-preferred habitat on Kangaroo Island. Koalas were found to use a wide range of eucalypt species and many individual koalas survived solely on a diet of tree species that were previously considered to be non-preferred by koalas on Kangaroo Island. The results of this study indicate that non-preferred areas of habitat have significant conservation and management value, just as areas that sustain highdensity populations of koalas do. A comparison of estimated home range areas between koalas in preferred and non- preferred habitat showed that koalas in non-preferred habitat had significantly larger home ranges than koalas in preferred habitat. This was also the case within sexes with male koalas in non-preferred habitat having significantly larger home ranges than males in preferred habitat and females in non-preferred habitat having significantly larger home ranges than female koalas in preferred habitat. The presence of a resident population of koalas in non-preferred habitat on Kangaroo Island was generally discounted until the commencement of this study. Koala management targets on Kangaroo Island were originally based on a population estimate of 3000 - 5000 koalas and the understanding that the majority of koalas occurred in the Cygnet River valley and Flinders Chase National Park. Today, methods of estimating population size on Kangaroo Island incorporate populations of koalas within high-, medium- and low quality habitats according to composition of eucalypt species. The revised koala population estimate based on this more comprehensive stratified sampling approach is ~ 27,000. It is now estimated that over half the Island’s koala population resides in areas of low-quality habitat outside of Flinders Chase National Park and the Cygnet River catchment.

Abstract:
Interactions between multiple disturbances have been shown to have unexpected, and often undesirable effects on ecosystems and biodiversity. Improving our ability to predict and manage the outcomes of multiple disturbances is therefore an important research priority. In this thesis, I focused on the interaction between fire and grazing (or browsing) by large herbivores. Evidence of the individual effects of fire and large herbivores is substantial, but there has been little quantitative synthesis of the effects of native herbivores on biodiversity. Using a systematic review and meta-analysis, I found that high densities of large herbivores usually have negative effects on other animals. However, I found that interactions between large herbivores and episodic disturbances, such as fire, remain poorly understood. I therefore designed a field experiment to test the interactive effects of prescribed fire and large herbivores on forest flora and fauna. I used full and partial exclosure fences to create a gradient of herbivore pressure across both burnt and unburnt sites, and measured the responses of vegetation, spiders and small vertebrates. I found that fire and herbivory interacted strongly to affect vegetation, with herbivory limiting the recovery of vegetation from fire. In contrast to the vegetation response, small vertebrates responded to the individual, but not interactive effects of disturbance. I then focused on the mechanisms driving interactive effects on vegetation, and found that the interaction occurred through both numerically mediated (concentration of herbivores in burnt sites) and functionally moderated (stronger effect of herbivores post-fire) pathways. The differing responses of plants and animals to fire and herbivory was at odds with existing literature, where the effects of large herbivores on fauna are usually attributed to vegetation changes. I therefore tested to what extent vegetation mediated the effects of fire and herbivory on web-building spiders – a group sensitive to changes in habitat structure. Vegetation structure partially mediated the negative effect of fire on spider density, while negative effects of large herbivores on spiders were mostly independent of vegetation. Different x types of web builders differed in their responses, resulting in important changes to the spider community following disturbance. The results of my experiments highlight the importance of focusing on mechanistic pathways for understanding and managing disturbance interactions. However, in reviewing recently published fire-grazing studies, I found that most reported only net effects of interactions. I demonstrate how by failing to identify mechanistic pathways, or non-linear effects, such studies are limited in their management applications. I describe adjustments to disturbance interaction studies that would improve their ability to inform effective management and advance theory. Collectively, my research shows that fire and large herbivores can have strong interactive effects on forested ecosystems and their associated biota, and highlights the importance of considering large herbivores in forest fire planning. It also demonstrates the value of a mechanistic understanding of interactions for the management of disturbance regimes. Such considerations are of broad relevance to the management of multiple disturbances, particularly in the context of increasing global change.

Abstract:
The aim of the study was to determine the influence of different disturbances (both natural and anthropogenic) on species composition and stand structure of old-growth mixed mountain forests in the Western Carpathians. These stands are usually dominated by beech, fir and spruce, mixed in different proportions. The tree main species represent different growth strategies, and they compete against each other. The longevity of trees makes the factors influencing the stand structure difficult to identify, even during longitudinal studies conducted on permanent research plots. That is why dendroecological techniques, based upon the annual variability of tree rings, are commonly used to analyze the disturbance histories of old-growth stands. Dendroecological methods make it possible to reconstruct the stand history over several centuries in the past by analyzing the frequency, intensity, duration and spatial scale of disturbances causing the death of trees. Combining the dendroecological techniques with the detailed measurements of stand structure, snag volume, CWD volume, and the analyses of regeneration species composition and structure allows us to identify the factors responsible for the changes in dynamics of mixed mountain forests. Various disturbance agents affect some species selectively, while some disturbances promote the establishment of tree seedlings of specific species by modifying environmental conditions. Describing the disturbance regime requires a broad scope of data on stand structure, on dead wood and tree regeneration, while various factors affecting all the stages of tree growth should be taken into consideration. On the basis of the already published data from permanent sample plots, combined with the available disturbance history analyses from the Western Carpathians, three research hypotheses were formulated. 1. The species composition of mixed mountain forests has been changing for at least several decades. These directional changes are the consequence of simultaneous conifer species decline and expansion of beech. 2. The observed changes in species composition of mixed mountain forests are the effect of indirect anthropogenic influences, significantly changing tree growth conditions also in the forests that are usually considered natural or near-natural. Cumulative impact of these indirect influences leads to the decrease of fir share in the tree layer (spruce decline has also been observed recently),and it limits the representation of this species among seedlings and saplings. The final effect is the decrease of fir and spruce share in the forest stands. 3. Small disturbances, killing single trees or small groups of trees, and infrequent disturbances of medium size and intensity dominate the disturbance regime in mixed mountain forests. The present structure of beech-fir-spruce forests is shaped both by complex disturbance regime and indirect anthropogenic influences. The data were gathered in permanent sample plots in strictly protected areas of Babia Góra, Gorce, and Tatra National Parks, situated in the Western Carpathians. All plots were located in the old-growth forest stands representing Carpathian beech forest community. The results of the measurements of trees, snags, coarse woody debris (CWD) and tree regeneration were used for detailed description of changes in the species composition and structure of tree stands. Tree ring widths derived from increment cores were used to reconstruct the historical changes in tree growth trends of all main tree species, as well as the stand disturbance history within the past two to three hundred years. The analyses revealed complex disturbance history in all of the three forest stands. Intermediate disturbances of variable intensity occurred, frequently separated by the periods of low tree mortality lasting from several decades up to over one hundred years. The intervals between the disturbances were significantly shorter than the expected length of forest developmental cycle, in commonly used theories describing the dynamics of old-growth stands. During intermediate disturbances up to several dozen percent of canopy trees were killed. There were no signs of stand-replacing disturbances, killing all or nearly all of canopy trees. The periods of intense tree mortality were followed by subsequent periods of increased sapling recruitment. Variability in disturbance intensity is one of the mechanisms promoting the coexistence of beech and conifer species in mixed forests. The recruitment of conifer saplings depended on the presence of larger gaps, resulting from intermediate disturbances, while beech was more successful in the periods of low mortality. However, in the last few decades, beech seems to benefit from the period of intense fir mortality. This change results from the influence of long-term anthropogenic disturbances, affecting natural mechanisms that maintain the coexistence of different tree species and change natural disturbance regimes. Indirect anthropogenic influence on tree growth was clearly visible in the gradual decrease of fir increments in the twentieth century, resulting from the high level of air pollution in Europe. Synchronous decreases of fir tree rings’ widths were observed in all three of the sample plots, but the final outcomes depended on the fir age. In most cases, the damage to the foliage limited the competitive abilities of fir, but it did not cause a widespread increase in tree mortality, except for the oldest firs in the BGNP (Babia Góra National Park) plot. BGNP is located in the proximity of industrial agglomeration of Upper Silesia, and it could be exposed to higher level of air pollution than the other two plots. High level of fir regeneration browsing due to the deer overabundance and insufficient number of predators is the second clear indication of the indirect anthropogenic influence on mixed mountain forests. Game impact on fir regeneration is the most pronounced in Babia Góra forests, where fir was almost completely eliminated from the saplings. Deer browsing seems to be the main factor responsible for limiting the number of fir saplings and young fir trees, while the representation of fir among seedlings is high. The experiments conducted in fenced plots located in the mixed forests in BGNP proved that fir and sycamore were the most preferred by deer species among seedlings and saplings. In GNP (Gorce National Park) and TNP (Tatra National Park), the changes in species composition of tree regeneration are similar, but single firs or even small groups of firs are present among saplings. It seems that all of the analysed mixed beech-fir-spruce forests undergo directional changes, causing a systematic decrease in fir representation, and the expansion of beech. This tendency results from the indirect anthropogenic impact, past and present. Fir regeneration decline, alongside with the high level of spruce trees’ mortality in recent years, may lead to a significant decrease in conifers representation in the near future, and to the expansion of beech forests at the cost of mixed ones.

Abstract:
Accurately characterizing the user's current interest is the core of recommender systems. However, users' interests are dynamic and affected by intent factors and preference factors. The intent factors imply users' current needs and change among different visits. The preference factors are relatively stable and learned continuously over time. Existing works either resort to the sequential recommendation to model the current browsing intent and historical preference separately or just mix up these two factors during online learning. In this paper, we propose a novel learning strategy named FLIP to decouple the learning of intent and preference under the online settings. The learning of the intent is considered as a meta-learning task and fast adaptive to the current browsing; the learning of the preference is based on the calibrated user intent and constantly updated over time. We conducted experiments on two public datasets and a real-world recommender system. When equipping it with modern recommendation methods, significant improvements are demonstrated over strong baselines.

Abstract:
Emotional qualities such as the product’s aesthetics are regarded as critical factors in mature products. In the mean time, the products, whichever they are matured or not, must satisfy the functional requirements from the customers considering the technical constraints. For emotional designing, the designer’s view point towards the design object plays a very critical role. However, those views are not well taken care of in the conventional design support tools. The author proposed the idea of perspective browsing, where the designer’s viewpoint is represented as “Perspective”. There can be a variety of “Perspective” during the product designing process, and these are all dynamic. If “Perspective” is well taken care of, kept, and shared during the designing process, the designer’s thought can be well maintained, activated, and transferred to the product design. To verify the effectiveness of the idea, Intuition-based Browsing Interaction system, or IBI system has been designed to support a bicycle design and implemented as a software tool. The main module of IBI is composed of four sub-modules; namely, parts/component, size/shape, technical calculation, and 3D modeling. Basic user interface is implemented to control the design operation. However, intuitive user interface is wrapped over the basic interface so that the user can intuitively use the system as an idea generation support tool. Some modules have a function as a portal to other systems or modules. Parts/component module works with internal/external database and 3D modeling module works with external modeling software. Showing the interaction example for a bicycle design, this paper presents how IBI system supports the designer. Even though IBI is still a prototype system for bicycle design, perspective browsing can be recognized for designing process of a bicycle. The designer can freely access to the design object from different perspectives to modify, update, change, evaluate in an intuitive manner. The target user of IBI is not only limited to product designer, but also is aimed at the customer who use the bicycle. Therefore, the customers themselves can participate in the designing activities and contribute to create innovative design based on the emotional feelings and inspirations.

Abstract:
SUMMARY OF FIELD OPERATIONS Over the past year, fieldwork resumed at pre-pandemic levels. In February 2022, the wolf population was likely comprised of 28 wolves. This is an increase from the next most recent estimate of 12-14 wolves, made 24 months earlier in March 2020 (Fig. 1). The wolf population appears to be primarily organized as two main socia groups—an eastern pack consisting of at least 13 wolves and a western pack most likel consisting of 13 wolves—and two wolves that may not be part of either pack. There is evidence that pups were born to both packs in April 2021. For context, there is also evidence that one litter of pup was born in 2019 and two litters were born in 2020. Wolves appear to be an important cause of mortality for moose once again. In particular, this past year, the proportion of the moose population killed by wolves (i.e., the predation rate) was 8.7 percent. That rate is almost twice as high as the predation rate observed in 2020 (4.5 percent) and it is the highest predation rate observed since 2011. Overall, the new population of wolves on Isle Royale appear to be well-established and functioning healthily. Over the past year, the U.S. National Park Service (NPS) continued its efforts to outfit a small proportion of the wolf population with GPS radio collars to help monitor the recovering population. The estimated abundance of moose declined by 28 percent, from 1,876 to 1,346, between February 2020 and February 2022. Longer-term population trends suggest that the moose population had increased greatly over an eight-year period (2011-2019) but then started to decline over the last few years. The decline in moose abundance is likely a consequence of several factors, including higher predation rates by wolves, severe burdens of parasites (winter ticks), and a shortage of winter forage, indicated in part by an unusually high number of moose dying from malnutrition over the past two years. That shortage of winter forage, specifically balsam fir, is likely due to a combination of intense browsing by moose in previous years and recent defoliation due to budworm (moth larvae) in some regions of the park. In February 2022, 19 moose were outfitted with GPS collars so their movements and behavior can be monitored, adding to the 45 moose radio-collared between 2019 and 2020.

Abstract:
The Heartland Inventory and Monitoring Network has monitored white-tailed deer over an 18-year period (2005–2022) within a defined survey area of Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield, documenting both a rapid decline and recovery in the population. The rapid die-off was the result of a region-wide hemorrhagic disease outbreak reported by the Missouri Department of Conservation that started in the fall of 2005, six months after we initiated deer monitoring. Although declines occurred 2005 to 2007, 2016 to 2017, and 2019 to 2022, the deer population still increased on average by 7.2% annually. The number of deer in the survey area ranged from a low of 14.9 ± 10.1 (mean ± 95% CI) individuals/km2 in 2007 to a high of 167.2 ± 57.4 individuals/km2 in 2016. The visible area surveyed each year varied between 0.7 and 1.1 km2 (coefficient of variation = 14.1%). Annual deer harvest data in the area nearby Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield exhibit similar trends to our annual adjusted counts suggesting that factors other than hunting maybe driving annual changes in deer population size in most years. However, these trends were not significantly correlated (r = 0.34, p = 0.33), so this relationship is only speculative. Overall, the increasing number of deer pose several problems for Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield. First, increasing deer populations add a level of complexity to implementing Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield Cultural Landscape Report recommendations. Deer preferentially browse native vegetation over exotic vegetation, promoting the spread of exotic species, and the success of tree plantings can be curtailed by heavy deer browsing. Second, controlling deer-related disease, some of which can affect domestic livestock and human health in and around the park, becomes increasingly harder as the deer population increases. Third, as additional ancillary data suggests, the largely unreported and costly deer-vehicle collisions in and around Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield have the potential to increase when there are more deer.

Abstract:
From 16 years (2005–2020) of monitoring trends in white-tailed deer within a defined survey area of Arkansas Post National Memorial, we have been able to demonstrate both population declines and recoveries. The adjusted count of deer had a seven-fold increase between 2007 and 2011 following a two-year decline and a three-fold increase between 2017 and 2019 following a six-year decline. Overall, the deer population has declined slightly, averaging a 0.5% reduction in herd size annually. The number of deer in the survey area ranged from 16.77 ± 21.26 (mean + 95% CI) individuals/km2 in 2007 to 118.95 ± 39.03 individuals/km2 in 2011. The amount of visible area surveyed each year varied between 0.25 and 0.47 km2 (coefficient of variation = 16.47%). If the white-tailed deer population becomes too large, this poses several problems for Arkansas Post National Memorial. First, it adds a level of complexity to implementing active natural resource management critical to preventing the cultural landscapes of Arkansas Post National Memorial from changing into something that has little resemblance to the historical character of the park. Deer deferentially browse native vegetation over exotic vegetation, thus promoting the spread of exotic species, and the success of tree planting can be curtailed by heavy deer browsing. Second, controlling deer related disease, some of which can affect domestic livestock and human health in and around the park, becomes increasingly difficult when there are more deer. Third, as additional ancillary data suggests, the largely unreported and costly deer-vehicle collisions in and around Arkansas Post National Memorial have the potential to increase if the deer populations grow.
