DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1293
Abstract: PREMISE Two fundamental hypotheses on herbivore resistance and leaf habit are the resource availability hypothesis (RAH) and the carbon-nutrient balance hypothesis (CNBH). The RAH predicts higher constitutive resistance by evergreens, and the CNBH predicts higher… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/csc2.20036
Abstract: Assigned to Associate Editor Guillermo Scaglia. Abstract Forage species with greater nutritive value have the potential to positively affect animal responses. ‘Performer’ switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) was released because of greater digestibility and lower lignin… read more here.

How to quantify plant tolerance to loss of biomass?

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2907
Abstract: Abstract In some plant species the whole shoot is occasionally removed, as a result of specialist herbivory, grazing, mowing, or other causes. The plant can adapt to defoliation by allocating more to tolerance and less… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8656
Abstract: Abstract Increasing air temperatures and changing precipitation patterns due to climate change can affect tree growth in boreal forests. Periodic insect outbreaks affect the growth trajectory of trees, making it difficult to quantify the climate… read more here.

Impacts of spruce budworm defoliation on the habitat of woodland caribou, moose, and their main predators

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8695
Abstract: Abstract Forest logging has contributed to the decline of several woodland caribou populations by causing the fragmentation of mature coniferous stands. Such habitat alterations could be worsened by spruce budworm (SBW) outbreaks. Using 6201 vegetation… read more here.

Defoliation and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi shape plant communities in overgrazed semiarid grasslands.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecology"
DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2401
Abstract: Overgrazing substantially contributes to global grassland degradation by decreasing plant community productivity and diversity through trampling, defoliation, and removal of nutrients. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi also play a critical role in plant community diversity, composition,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10658-019-01865-1
Abstract: In Spain, natural and managed cork oak woodlands are severely affected by decline caused by the root rot oomycetes Phytophthora cinnamomi and Pythium spiculum. The need for environmental-friendly disease management makes the use of resistance… read more here.

Interaction effects of water supply and artificial defoliation in autumn on growth, biomass and nutrient accumulation in Populus deltoides

DOI: 10.1007/s11056-021-09837-2
Abstract: Poplar productivity is negatively affected by excess or deficit of water availability and by insect and pathogens that cause defoliation. Some foliar diseases, like leaf rust, produce defoliation at the end of the summer. The… read more here.
