Abstract

Changes in atmospheric composition affect plant quality and herbivore performance. We used the Aspen Free Air CO₂ Enrichment (FACE) facility to investigate the impacts of elevated carbon dioxide (CO₂) and ozone (O₃) on the performance of the aphid Cepegillettea betulaefoliae Granovsky feeding on paper birch (Betula papyrifera Marsh.).
