Small rodent population cycles characterise northern ecosystems, and the cause of these cycles has been a long-lastingcentral topic in ecology, with trophic interactions currently considered the most plausible cause. While some researchershave rejected plant–herbivore interactions as a cause of rodent cycles, others have continued to research their potentialroles. Here, we present an overview of whether plants can cause rodent population cycles, dividing this idea into fourdifferent hypotheses with different pathways of plant impacts and related assumptions. Our systematic review of theexisting literature identified 238 studies from 150 publications. This evidence base covered studies from the temperatebiome to the tundra, but the studies w...
