SCIENCE MAGAZINE: The latest issue features ‘Return of The Herd’ – Ecosystem effects of migrating bison.

Bison move through Yellowstone’s Lamar Valley at sunrise. Their movements and grazing accelerate the nitrogen cycle, increasing the annual nutrition that plants provide to herbivores. After decades of recovery, bison now add heterogeneity that sustains soil nutrient storage and plant productivity while allowing plant communities to become more diverse, highlighting the importance of restoring native grazers in large numbers and with freedom to move. See page 904.
