Beschreibung:
A number of animal licks, representing dry earth exposures, muck licks, and rock face licks, were sampled and analysed for 12 elements by using a sulphuric acid-hydrogen peroxide method to simulate digesta. The various types of licks may serve different needs. Sodium, magnesium, manganese, iron, and copper may draw animals to specific sites. Key words: Salt licks, ungulates, landscape management, Rocky Mountains
