The effects of low-level consumption by canopy arthropods on the growth and nutrient dynamics of black locust and red maple trees in the Southern Appalachians. Seastedt, T. R. Ecology, 1983.
Paper abstract bibtex The effects of low-level consumption by canopy arthropods on foliage nutrient content, canopy leachates (throughfall), and biomass of 4-year-old black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) and red maple (Acer rubrum) were studied in the Southern Appalachians of North Carolina. A carbaryl insecticide was used to reduce foliage consumption from 10 to 2 per cent in black locust and from 4 to 1 percent in red maple. Total biomass production (net primary production per kilogram of preseason biomass) was unaffected by the low levels of herbivory observed here. Such nominal herbivory did not stimulate biomass and nutrient accretion by these tree species but did increase the cycling of K and perhaps other elements within these systems.
