Effects of stress and defence allocation on tree growth: Simulation results at the individual and stand level.
In: Growth and Defence in Plants. Berlin ; Heidelberg: Springer, 2012. 401-431 (Ecol. Stud. ; 220)
The long life span of trees implies that they are more or less frequently confronted with different biotic and abiotic stress situations during their lives. However, biotic stress such as attacks by herbivores or pathogens and abiotic stress such as frost or drought could strongly vary in frequency, intensity, duration, time of occurrence as well as in the involved tissues. This urged trees to develop flexible defence mechanisms during their evolution ensuring a high probability of survival to regenerate successfully. Based on an analysis of existing literature on plant response to herbivory, McNaughton (1983) concludes that “. . .the yield of the tissue affected and other tissues is not affected in proportion to the amount of tissues damaged by the herbivore”, referring also to Lee and Bazzaz (1980) and Neilsen (1981). McNaughton presents a set of alternative patterns about the effe
