Article Synopsis
- Soil heavy metal pollution and insect herbivory together affect plant volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, crucial for ecological functions and atmospheric processes.
- Male eastern cottonwood seedlings emit higher levels of certain VOCs compared to females, particularly when exposed to soil cadmium (Cd) and insect feeding.
- The study finds that Cd exposure significantly enhances herbivore-induced VOC emissions in male plants, raising potential consequences for ecological relationships and air quality.
