Continued high browsing pressure is one of many factors contributing to the restructuring of northern Great Lakes forests away from historical variability conditions towards a novel and more homogeneous forested landscape.
Osteological evidence for a strong upward inclination of cervical column for high browsing [34] is lacking.
High browsing was also inferred as a possible feeding mechanism for Diplodocus by Upchurch and Barrett [30], based on macrowear features.
Among the largest ground sloths, Megatherium and Eremotherium, the cranial traits coupled with the post-cranial ecomorphological design point to strongly frugivorous-browser diets related to high browsing habits, while probably Eremotherium was more able to handle softer food [38], [39], [78].
Although the features recovered from diplodocoid teeth (Diplodocus in [22], [23], [30]; Nigersaurus in [10]) are typically similar, primarily fine scratches, the interpretation of the behavior that caused these features differs, from high browsing (e.g., feeding on upper canopy vegetation) [22], [23] to branch stripping [30] to ground-level browsing [10].
In sum, although the paradigm for feeding among diplodocoids has shifted from high browsing [34] to low browsing by leaf-stripping across a range as high as to 4 10 meters [15], [19], [20], [32], [41], [42], it appears that ground-level browsing may constitute a significant, even dominant, feeding strategy among these sauropods.

In contrast, 12 other common tree species at our study site had higher browse rates, with ten species exceeding 30% and four species exceeding 40%.
Although data indicate wild horse diets are primarily composed of graminoids, several studies reported unusual, regionally specific shifts in response to winter snow that limited graminoid accessibility, leading to higher browse composition.
In this sense, they may be compared to grazing ungulates, which spend most of their time feeding on low grasses, despite being physically capable of reaching higher browse.
Limited processing power and low memory do not support high speed browsing.
