In a study of eastern hemlock forests, browsing by white-tailed deer caused populations of three exotic plants to rise faster than they do in the areas which are absent of deer. Seedlings of the three invading species rose exponentially with deer density, while the most common native species fell exponentially with deer density, because deer ...

The Cross Timbers are contained within the WWF central forest-grasslands transition ecoregion. The woodland and savanna portions of the Cross Timbers are mainly post oak and blackjack oak on coarse, sandy soils; [4] fire suppression in recent years has increased forest density and allowed eastern redcedar to invade as well.
