(1) Small saplings of Tilia cordata, when planted in deciduous woodlands, are damaged or destroyed by rodents. (2) Experiments with captive animals show that the damage is identical with that caused by bank voles. (3) Bank voles are present at all sites where damage occurs. (4) Small saplings of Betula spp. established naturally in the sites are very rarely damaged. (5) Seedlings of Quercus spp. and Fagus silvatica are damaged or destroyed but small saplings suffer little or no damage attributable to voles. (6) Experiments with captive bank voles demonstrate marked differences between species of tree in their susceptibility to damage. (7) Tilia cordata is often severely damaged or destroyed. (8) Betula spp. suffer little or no damage. (9) Damage and destruction of small saplings is an important factor in the failure of regeneration of T. cordata in English woodlands because of the low density of seedlings and low frequency of large crops of fertile fruits.
(1) 欧洲小叶椴的小树苗种植在落叶林地时，会受到啮齿动物的损害或破坏。(2) 对圈养动物的实验表明，这种损害与黄毛鼠造成的损害相同。(3) 在所有发生损害的地点都有黄毛鼠。(4) 在这些地点自然生长的桦木属小树苗很少受到损害。(5) 栎属和欧洲水青冈的幼苗会受到损害或破坏，但小树苗很少或几乎没有因田鼠造成的损害。(6) 对圈养黄毛鼠的实验表明，不同树种对损害的易感性存在显著差异。(7) 欧洲小叶椴经常受到严重损害或破坏。(8) 桦木属受到的损害很小或没有。(9) 小树苗的损害和破坏是英国林地欧洲小叶椴更新失败的一个重要因素，因为幼苗密度低且丰硕果实的大收成频率低。
