The effect of allometric partitioning on herbivory tolerance in four species in South China
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Herbivory tolerance can offset the negative effects of herbivory on plants and plays an important role in both immigration and population establishment. Biomass reallocation is an important potential mechanism of herbivory tolerance.

Modeling energy flow and nutrient cycling in natural semiarid grassland ecosystems with the aid of thematic mapper data [PDF]
Energy flow and nutrient cycling were modeled as affected by herbivory on selected intensive sites along gradients of precipitation and soils, validating the model output by monitoring selected parameters with data derived from the Thematic Mapper (TM ...

Secondary Organic Aerosol Formation from Healthy and Aphid-Stressed Scots Pine Emissions. [PDF]
, 2019 One barrier to predicting biogenic secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation in a changing climate can be attributed to the complex nature of plant volatile emissions.

Whole‐seedling trait adjustments of mountain birch under contrasting environmental conditions
Oikos, EarlyView.Warming temperatures can promote arctic tree seedling establishment and growth, but these effects depend on the environmental context and the seedlings' capacity to acquire limiting resources. Here, we tested how temperature, soil properties, and the presence of a neighbouring shrub influence seedling growth rates.

Differential herbivory and successional status in five tropical tree species
Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2018 Using 4 restoration plots, we performed a common garden experiment to test the hypothesis that inter-specific variation in leaf herbivory depends on the successional status of tree species of the seasonally dry tropical forest.

Bottom–up and top–down drivers influence urbanization effects on insect herbivory in oaks
Oikos, EarlyView.Urban forests provide essential ecosystem services, including pest control, biodiversity conservation, and human health benefits. Herbivory is a widespread biotic interaction that shapes ecosystem functions, such as primary productivity and soil fertility, which underpin these services.

The effects of single versus successive warm summers on an intertidal community
Oikos, EarlyView.To accurately predict how organisms and ecological communities will respond to future conditions caused by climate change, we must consider the temporal dynamics of environmental stressors, including the effects of repeated exposures to stress. We performed a two‐year passive thermal manipulation in coastal British Columbia, Canada to determine how ...

Combined Effects of Heavy Metal and Simulated Herbivory on Leaf Trichome Density in Sunflowers
PlantsTrichomes play a key role in both heavy metal tolerance and herbivory defense, and both stressors have been shown to induce increased trichome density.

Oikos, EarlyView.Tree species diversity is known to affect tree growth and leaf traits, which in turn can influence various ecosystem processes. However, the reported direction of these tree diversity effects is inconsistent, indicating that their outcomes depend strongly on ecological context.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Longer‐term perspectives—equivalent to the lifespans of long‐lived trees—are required to fully inform perceptions of ‘naturalness’ used in woodland conservation and management. Stand‐scale dynamics of an old growth temperate woodland are reconstructed using palaeoecological data.
