The isolation of the moose population in Isle Royale National Park, Michigan, and the availability of annual estimates of its density since 1959 allow analysis of the relationship between moose browsing and tree-ring growth records. Whole-stem and increment-core records of balsam fir (<em>Abies lasiocarpa</em>), a winter forage tree, mountain ash (<em>Sorbus americana</em>), and year-round forage tree, and white spruce (<em>Picea glauca</em>), a non-forage tree, are presented and discussed.</p>}, journal={Alces: A Journal Devoted to the Biology and Management of Moose}, author={McLaren, Brian L. and Peterson, Rolf O.}, year={1995}, month={Jan.}, pages={77–86} }
