Frass - Open Access .click

Oecologia, 1995
Defoliation of forests by insects is often assumed to produce a pulse of available nitrogen (N) from the decomposition of frass pellets. In this study we measured rates of carbon (C) and N mineralization from gypsy moth frass incubated with and without soil, and for soil alone.

Relationship Among Orangestriped Oakworm (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) Frass Length, Frass Production, Host Plant, and Defoliation

Journal of Entomological Science, 1993
Defoliation of urban oak trees by the orangestriped oakworm, Anisota senatoria (J. E. Smith), and associated frass has become a significant problem in southeastern Virginia. Measurements of frass length and production provided a decision-making guideline for A. senatoria management. Frass length was used to differentiate A.

The ecological importance of insect frass: allelopathy in eucalypts

Oecologia, 1985
Our previously published experiments on allelopathic effects of insect frass in Eucalyptus communities (Silander et al. 1983) have been criticized on the grounds that our estimates of annual frass production were exscessive (Ohmart 1985). However, we spanned the entire array of estimates of frass fall available from eucalypt communities, and we ...
