Introduction
Large mammalian herbivores are threatened
Large herbivores require great plant abundance whereas small herbivores require high nutrient content
Rainfall, soil fertility and primary productivity influence plant quality and herbivore community biomass
How do rainfall, soil fertility and primary productivity affect herbivore diversity?
