As above so below: Recent and future advances in plant‐mediated above‐ and belowground interactions.

Over longer periods of time, aboveground herbivores may stimulate plant compensatory growth to some extent, which can itself promote further herbivory and increase the return of plant litter, in the form of debris or herbivore feces, to the soil.

The second has focused on the mechanisms of such interactions and, more specifically, how plant physiological changes, such as plant defence strategies or the production of particular primary and secondary metabolites, mediate above- and belowground interactions between herbivores and higher trophic level organisms (Soler et al., 2005).
