Relative importance of biotic and abiotic soil components to plant growth and insect herbivore population dynamics [PDF]
Background: Plants are affected by several aspects of the soil, which have the potential to exert cascading effects on the performance of herbivorous insects. The effects of biotic and abiotic soil characteristics have however mostly been investigated in
