Long-Term Impacts of Warming & Insect Herbivory on Plant Communities

In a new paper appearing in the journal Ecology, Michigan State University ecologists explore the impacts of warming temperatures and insect herbivory on plants’ biological cycles. 

Research from the Spatial & Community Ecology Lab (SpaCE Lab) at MSU examines how biodiversity may be affected by the cascading effects of climate change, as warming temperatures set into motion complex and subtle shifts in ecosystem dynamics.
