Abstract: Extensive riparian plant communities dominated by willow provide important wildlife habitat within and adjacent to Grand Teton National Park. High densities of moose are often associated with these willow communities. Findings suggest that although moose browsing influenced the structure and appearance of preferred willow species, their foraging did not cause progressive deterioration of these plants on major winter ranges.
