Description
Mountain goats of Olympic National Park are but one example of the pervasive influence of humans on the earth's biota—greatly accelerating the spread of plants and animals around the globe. Introduced exotic or alien species often disrupt established ecosystem processes and pose management problems for national parks. This is the situation in Olympic National Park: goats have modified the vegetation—as all large herbivores do—and, thereby, have...
