Background insect herbivory increases with local elevation but makes minor contribution to element cycling along natural gradients in the Subarctic

Abstract Herbivores can exert major controls over biogeochemical cycling. As invertebrates are highly sensitive to temperature shifts (ectothermal), the abundances of insects in high‐latitude systems, where climate warming is rapid, is expected to increase. In subarctic mountain birch forests, resea...
