I created a few graphs, but in general they show how many conifer seedlings were browsed, or not browsed with the presence or absence of red-osier dogwood. My data was simple, so making graphs was not difficult. However, I have yet to decide which table and graphs I have made will go into my actual report. The results did mostly show that conifers were less browsed when red-osier dogwood was present, however, this varied with tree species. This had led to question of is there is diet selection of conifer species as well as diet selection of shrub vs. conifers for ungulates. It would appear that they prefer subalpine fir, however, much of literature I have read suggests that ungulates prefer Douglas-fir.
