Title: Secondary succession: insect-plant relationships

Journal Article · · BioScience; (United States)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2307/1309664· OSTI ID:5888432

Botanists have dominated the study of secondary succession, and as a result, models and theories have focused on plants. Recent work, however, has revealed several complex relationships between plants and insects during succession, including adaptations of life-cycle strategies. Furthermore, insect herbivores play a key role in the course and rate of plant succession.
