What happens to plant palatability when tannin concentration increases significantly?

💡 Explanation

Increased tannin concentration leads to reduced palatability because tannins bind to plant proteins, making the plant tissue less digestible and less appealing to herbivores; therefore, herbivores avoid consuming plants with high tannin levels, rather than preferring them or experiencing increased nutrient uptake.
