Quantifying nutrient re-distribution from nutrient hotspots using camera traps, indirect observation and stable isotopes in a miombo ecosystem, Tanzania

Nutrient hotspots strongly attract mammalian herbivores in nutrient-poor habitats such as savanna systems. However, little is known about their seasonal importance for mammalian herbivore species, particularly grazers. In addition, no study has fully quantified the potential re-distribution of nutrients into the surroundings of these hotspots. We assessed nutrient hotspot (i.e., grazing lawns and termite mounds) use by herbivores in a Miombo...
