I agree with their 'shifting mosaic' description. But I hesitate to apply historical observations to older times. My view is bison were nomadic, migratory, or sedentary at various places and times, depending on fire, predation, snow cover, drought, topography, etc. and their interactions.

This paper has a nice multi-proxy analysis of fire, vegetation, moisture availability, and a possible herbivore indicator w/ spike moss. doi.org/10.1016/j.qu...

New paper!
Molecules in lake sediments provide new information about past herbivores in Yellowstone
Molecular signatures of dung vary among wild herbivores. Fecal steroids in lake mud show that bison/elk were dominant herbivores for over 2k yr in a small catchment.
