Interactions among herbivores in three polluted pine stands.

Interactions among herbivores in three polluted pine stands.

Succession of insect attacks on young Scots pine ( L.) was studied in heavily, moderately and slightly polluted pine stands within a three-kilometre distance from a prominent emission source in Western Finland. The total number of pest species was highest in the moderately polluted stand,...

The total number of pest species was highest in the moderately polluted stand, but unlike other herbivores, aphids were also abundant in the heavily polluted stands. A few positive but no negative interactions were detected between herbivores, which suggests that insect species may benefit from a previous occurrence of other species in the same tree.Pinus sylvestrishttps://www.silvafennica.fi/article/5361
