Defoliation-induced changes in foliage quality may trigger broad-scale insect outbreaks
Communications Biology, 2022 Progression of a spruce budworm outbreak over seven years is associated with increased soil nutrient fluxes and availability and improved foliage quality in surviving host trees. This could create a bottom-up feedback that sustains an insect outbreak.

A comparison of presettlement and modern forest composition along an elevation gradient in central New Hampshire [PDF]
, 2011 Tree species composition is influenced not only by edaphic and climatic factors but also by natural and human-caused disturbances. To understand interactions among these influences, we compared forest species composition data from the time of European ...
