Megaherbivores modify forest structure and increase carbon stocks through multiple pathways
F. Berzaghi, F. Bretagnolle, C. Durand-Bessart, S. Blake
This study shows that forest elephants increase carbon stocks by promoting high wood density trees and dispersing their seeds, with potential carbon loss of 5-12% if elephants are lost.

Trait-based mechanistic approach highlights global patterns and losses of herbivore biomass functional diversity
F. Berzaghi, D. Zhu, J. Alroy, P. Ciais
The paper develops a mechanistic model of global herbivore biomass using functional traits and vegetation data, revealing significant declines in large herbivore biomass due to human activity.

Valuation of carbon services produced by wild animals finances conservation
F. Berzaghi, R. Chami, T. Cosimano, C. Fullenkamp
The paper values carbon services provided by African forest elephants using a spatial demographic model, finding they are worth $35.9 billion and store 377 MtC, with poaching causing $10-14 billion in losses.
