Effects of Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide on Insect Herbivores and Their Host Plants. Technical Progress Report

摘要

The goal was to examine and confirm the observation that leaf eating insects feed at higher rates on plants grown under elevated carbon dioxide regimes. Results confirm and refine the preliminary observation. Subsequent experiments are designd to examine the basis for the increased feeding and examine the generality by testing another plant/herbivore system. (ERA citation 10:021875)
