Elevated Atmospheric CO(2) Triggers Compensatory Feeding by Root Herbivores on a C(3) but Not a C(4) Grass

Predicted increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO(2)) concentrations often reduce nutritional quality for herbivores by increasing the C∶N ratio of plant tissue. This frequently triggers compensatory feeding by aboveground herbivores, whereby they consume more shoot material in an attempt to mee...
