托福阅读句子简化题：Deer Populations

The causes of this population rebound are consequences of other human actions. First, the major　　predators of deer—wolves, cougar, and lynx—have been greatly reduced in numbers. Second, conservation has been　insured by limiting times for and types of hunting. But the most profound reason for the restoration of high population　numbers has been the fate of the forests. Great tracts of lowland country deforested by logging, fire, or both have　become ideal feeding grounds of deer. In addition to finding an increase of suitable browse, like huckleberry and vine　maple, Arthur Einarsen, longtime game biologist in the Pacific Northwest, found quality of browse in the open areas to be　substantially more nutritive. The protein content of shade-grown vegetation, for example, was much lower than that for　plants grown in clearings. (Deer Populations of the Puget Sound)
