Simulated impacts of insect defoliation on forest carbon dynamics
Environmental Research Letters, 2012 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

Defoliation Dynamics in Kikuyugrass Pastures Subjected to Intensities of Defoliation
Agronomy, 2020 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.

Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 133-151., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Annual bromes decrease with increasing fall defoliation intensity
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Japanese brome (Bromus japonicus Thunb.) has been introduced to four continents from its Eurasian origins and has increased during recent decades, particularly in North America.

Journal of Forest Science, 2002 A new method for evaluating damage caused by tenthredinids to Norway spruce stands is based on defoliation of the top whorls. A scale with four classes of defoliation was established that is easy to use. Defoliation can be displayed graphically on a grid
