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

eaf tissue flows in ryegrass managed under different stocking rates
Acta Scientiarum: Animal Sciences, 2015 Morphogenetic, structural variables and leaf biomass flows of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) were evaluated under two stocking rates: ‘Low’ and ‘High’.

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.

Intermediate coupling between aboveground and belowground biomass maximises the persistence of grasslands [PDF]
, 2012 Aboveground and belowground biomass compartments of vegetation fulfil different functions and they are coupled by complex interactions. These compartments exchange water, carbon and nutrients and the belowground biomass compartment has the capacity to ...

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.

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

Interactive effect of herbivory and competition on the invasive plant Mikania micrantha. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 A considerable number of host-specific biological control agents fail to control invasive plants in the field, and exploring the mechanism underlying this phenomenon is important and helpful for the management of invasive plants.
