Plant-mediated effects of heavy metals and acid rain on feeding aphids and caterpillars

In controlled model forest ecosystems young trees were exposed to heavy metals in the soil and to acid precipitation. On spruce trees Lymantria monacha caterpillars and Cinara pilicornis aphids and on willow Pterocomma pilosum aphids were reared and monitored. Developmental time and fecundity of L. monacha were recorded and in aphids colony growth was measured.
