Abstract: |
Boreal forest vegetation data sampled in Norway, Hedmark county, Stor-Elvdal municipality, in 2013-2014-2015. Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) was sampled in 1x1 m square plots for signs of mammalian and insect herbivory. Also some abiotic variables have been sampled. This sampling was part of the bigger project called BEcoDyn (Boreal ECOsystem DYNamics). |
<br>Abstract:<br>Vegetative parts of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) are important forage for many boreal forest mammal, bird and insect species. Plant palatability to insects is affected by defense compound levels and nutrient levels in plants. We expected that palatability of bilberry leaves to insect herbivores is influenced by light availability and soil productivity (both affecting nitrogen concentration and constitutive carbon-based defense compound concentration) and herbivory by mammals (affecting nitrogen concentration and induced carbon-based defense compound concentration). We studied bilberry leaf herbivory under different light availability, soil productivity and mammalian herbivory pressure in small sampling units (1x1 meter) in boreal forest in Norway. We used generalised linear mixed models and generalised additive mixed models to model insect herbivory on bilberry leaves as a function of shade, soil productivity and mammalian herbivory. Observed insect herbivory on bilberry leaves increased with increasing shade levels. Predicted insect herbivory increased with increasing previous mammalian herbivory at high shade levels and this response was magnified at higher soil productivity levels. At low to intermediate shade levels, this response was only present under high soil productivity levels. Our results indicate that light availability is more important for variation in bilberry leaf palatability than soil nutrient conditions. |
