How does experimental warming effect the rate of herbivory and fungi on host grasses?
Abstract
As there is an increase in greenhouse gasses, it is causing direct and indirect changes in plant interactions with herbivory and fungal pathogens. By imitating the increase in climate change through temperature, it is possible to observe the indirect effect it has on herbivory/fungal pathogens on their plant hosts. In collecting data on three grass species, it cannot be concluded that there is an effect of warming on herbivory/pathogen damage on plant hosts however there is a pattern seen in all species the different plots. The accumulation of herbivory/pathogens in warmed and controlled plots have significance at various time interval of different species. Weather could be affecting the herbivory and pathogens at different plots which can be a reason for the pattern across plots.
