- Title
Can saliva from moose, Alces alces, affect growth responses in the sallow, Salix caprea?
- Authors
Bergman, Margareta
- Abstract
Numerous factors acting separately and in concert may influence plant responses to herbivory. These factors can be generally divided into two groups, those acting either internally on the plant or externally. Examples of the former are morphological and physiological characteristics, or constraints within the plant such as architecture, age, chemistry and reproductive traits. Examples of the latter group are seasonal and climatic variations, as well as varying soil nutrient compositions, and the type and intensity of herbivory. A well-known response to pruning of shoot tips is the release of apical dominance in the affected plants, whereby hormones in the terminal bud no longer suppress the formation of lateral buds.
