Abstract
Experimental reduction of insect grazing pressures suggests that long-term, continuous feeding by phytophagous insects has severely depressed growth and productivity of subalpine Eucalyptus trees (measured by annual ring growth) for at least 25 years.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
