Abstract
The results show that slug herbivory might exert large effects on species composition in grassland; it does strongly influence the seedling establishment of the highly palatable, slow-growing A. montana, while the seedlings of C. pseudophrygia, although of similar palatability, are more able to tolerate slug feeding because of their higher growth rate.
