Effects of plant diversity and leaf traits on insect herbivory in plantation and natural forests
Original language description
Conversion from natural forest to timber plantation is an important cause of pristine forests loss. These changes alter community structure and cause a decrease in the diversity of plant communities. Leaf functional traits, which are an important defensive strategy, might also be influenced by such alterations. Altogether, shifts from natural forest to timber plantation may lead to profound changes in plant-plant and plant-animal interactions, including herbivory and the relative abundance of different feeding guilds, an important aspect of forest ecosystem function and community dynamics. In this study, we assessed insect herbivore damage in saplings of four native tree species in the understory of natural forests and two types of ca. 80-year-old timber plantations. We measured leaf damage by the most common feeding guilds in over 9000 leaves from 200 saplings. We first compared herbivory between natural forest and plantations, and we then analyzed the drivers of herbivory and of the two most common
