Pine processionary moth (PPM) feeds on conifer foliage and periodically result in outbreaks leading to large scale defoliation, causing decreased tree growth, vitality and tree reproduction capacity.

Simulated impacts of insect defoliation on forest carbon dynamics
Many temperate and boreal forests are subject to insect epidemics. In the eastern US, over 41 million meters squared of tree basal area are thought to be at risk of gypsy moth defoliation. However, the decadal-to-century scale implications of defoliation

Vitis vinifera L. has been highlighted by its many positive effects on human health, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity due to its rich phytochemical content. Removing six basal leaves has great potential to influence the

Defoliation Dynamics in Kikuyugrass Pastures Subjected to Intensities of Defoliation
Some recent papers have recommended moderate intensities of defoliation in order to maximize herbage intake at different time-scales. Most of them, however, did not assess the grazing dynamics of individual tillers during the stocking period.

Folivorous insects cause some of the most ecologically and economically important disturbances in forests worldwide. For this reason, several approaches have been developed to exploit the temporal richness of available satellite time series data to ...

Effects of time and intensity of defoliation on yield and yield components of corn
In order to evaluate the effects of time (20, 40, 60 and 100 days after sowing) and intensity of defoliation (0, 33, 66 and 100%) on a corn cultivar ( three way cross 647), a complete randomized block design with split plot arrangement and three ...
