Nutrient fluxes from insect herbivory increase during ecosystem retrogression in boreal forest

Ecological theory, developed largely from ungulates and grassland systems, predicts that herbivory accelerates nutrient cycling more in productive than unproductive systems. This prediction may be important for understanding patterns of ecosystem change over time and space, but its applicability to...
