1 Climate change and plant-herbivore interactions in boreal and arctic ecosystems Pekka Niemelä University of Turku
2 BACCI - report
3 Changes in snow cover
4 Kellomäki et al.
5 Effect of climatic change on growth of Scots pine (Kellomäki et al.)
6
7 Deciduous trees benefit climatic change Cental European climate?
8 Climate change can affect plant-herbivore interaction by several mechanisms: Quality of host plants changes Growth and life cycle of herbivores changes Habitat conditions (abiotic) changes Trophic interactions changes Predators, parasites, pathogens, etc
9 Mekrijärvi chamber experiment 16 chambers: -Elevated CO2 -Elevated Temperature -Elevated CO2 and Temp. -Control Test plants: -Pine -Birch -Willows
10 The effect of climatic change on resistance of birch Kuokkanen et al. Fertilization decreses the level of defence CO 2 + T decreases the defence level Interaction between soil and climate!
11 Carbon/nutrient-balance The balance beween nutrients and carbon regulates the level of defence against herbivores
12 Compensatory growth in relation to climatic change Birches grown in: 1. elevated CO 2 and 2. temperature under 3. optimal N fertilisation, 4. defoliation levels from 25-75% of leaf biomass Cont, 25, 50, 75% defoliation
13 Forest defoliations in North-West Russia L Number of outbreaks has increased Intensity of defoliation has increased Kozlov & Shelikovkin, unpub.
14 The effect of winter temperatures Low winter temperatures may kill the overwintering eggs Pine sawfly (Neodiprion sertifer) outbreaks in pine forests Autumnal moth (Epirrita autumnata) Huge outbreaks in mountain birch forests
15 Pines defoliated by pine sawfly (Neodiprion sertifer)
16 Life cycle of N. sertifer: overwinters as an egg
17 Distribution of Neodpirion sertifer Distribution in central and southern Finland
18 Areal distribution of outbreaks of N. sertifer
19 Cold hardiness of the eggs of N. sertifer Veteli et al. 2005
20 Effect of climate change on winter temperatures
21 The effect of climate change on the frequency of outbreaks
22 Egg parazitism and coldhardiness of eggs Veteli et al. Temperature window to escape parazatism
23 Mountain birch forest killed by Epirrita autumnata Some birches have survived
24 Larva of E. autumnata Eggs are owervintering on twigs

26 Tenow 1972
27 Outbreaks of Autumnal moth
28 Topographical distribution of damages Norway, Tana, 2003; Lauri Kapari
29 Neuvonen and Virtanen 1998
30 Tenow 1972
31 Lake of cold air Lake of cold air in rivervalleys High egg mortality in rivervalleys
32 Neuvonen and Virtanen 1998
33 Neuvonen and Virtanen 1998 Climatic change and outbreaks in river valleys
34 Conclusion During mild winters outbreaks increase also in rivervalleys Climate change will increase the outbreak frequencies of Autumnal moth
35 Topography of outbreaks Why dwarf birches have been defoliated? Norway, Tana, 2003; Lauri Kapari
36 Winter moth (Operopthera brumata)
