| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was to determine the role of plant species with anti-deer herbivory strategies for conservation of ecosystem and the methods of revegetation by using such plant species. I examined some types of vegetation established at forested and deforested sites that were under severe feeding pressure by deer. The results indicate that some species with anti-deer herbivory strategies contribute to the conservation of ecosystem and are useful for the revegetation of sites that are under severe feeding pressure by deer.
