Insect outbreak progression over three years shapes biogenic volatile emissions in a mountain birch forest

Abstract Geometrid moth outbreaks are important natural disturbances in mountain birch ( Betula pubescens ssp. czerepanovii ) forests of northern Fennoscandia and are expected to intensify with climate change. Impacts of these outbreaks and moth herbivory on biogenic volatile org...

Reduced BVOC emissions from birch forest understory during coupled insect outbreak and microclimatic forcing

Abstract Insect outbreaks are intensifying across high-latitude forests, yet their effects on biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions from understory vegetation remain poorly resolved under natural outbreak conditions. Here, we examine how a severe geometrid moth outb...
