Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the independent and interactive effects of CO₂, O₃, and plant genotype on the foliar quality of a deciduous tree and the performance of a herbivorous insect. Two trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michaux) genotypes differing in response to CO₂ and O₃ were grown at the Aspen FACE (Free Air CO₂ Enrichment) site located in northern Wisconsin, USA.
