Coupling a physiological grazer population model with a generalized model for vegetation dynamics.
TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized model for the population dynamics of large mammalian grazers, based on animal physiology, with a plant-physiological model for vegetation dynamics and ecosystem processes, applicable at local to global scales (LPJ-GUESS).
