dynamics of carbon-nutrient balance: effects of cottonwood acclimation to short-and long-term shade on beetle feeding preferences

The carbon-nutrient balance hypothesis (CNBH) predicts that shading should increase leaf palatability to herbivores by decreasing concentrations of carbon (C)-based chemical defenses and increasing nitrogen (N). We measured cottonwood (Populus deltoides) growth, leaf chemistry, and beetle (Plagioder...
