Beaver(Castor canadensis) build dams and create ponds on streams within forested areas. Upon abandonment, ponds often drain and the subsequent meadows persist for decades as graminoid patches that resist invasion of conifers despite their close proximity to seed sources. The lack of ectomycorrhizal fungi in soils of beaver meadows may limit the rate of conifer invasion. 2, record 2, English, - beaver%20meadow
