Above ground food resources and herbivory in a beech forest ecosystem [Denmark]

In a 90 yr old beech stand the apparent beech leaf consumption 1967-1974 ranged from 7 to 20% (average 12.3%). Phyllophages actually removed 3-9% (average 5.7%) of leaf area index (LAI) - an average of about 9 g m-2 yr-1 (d.w.) of beech leaves (about 180 kJ m-2 yr-1), corresponding to 2-5% (average...
