Article Synopsis
- Herbivorous insects significantly impact nutrient cycling in forests, with tropical forests experiencing more nutrient release from these insects compared to temperate and boreal forests.
- The study utilized a global network of 74 plots in mature forests to analyze various leaf compositions and nutrient fluxes influenced by insect herbivory.
- Results indicate that increasing temperatures can enhance these interactions, thus influencing global biogeochemical cycles and altering ecosystem dynamics in broadleaved forests.
