Indirect effects and the Long-term Risks of Air Pollution on Eastern North American Temperate Forest Ecosystems: Insect Outbreaks

1993

Chappelka, A.H. (Auburn University, Alabama (USA). School of Forestry)

Air pollutants cause subtle changes in natural resistance that can prediscope plants to insect attack. The majority of reports in the area of plant-pollutant-insect interactions have been correlative in nature. In the last ten years, there has emerged a growing body of literature, the vast majority with herbaceous crops, reporting on cause-effect relationships among insects and their hosts.
