Leaf damage by insect herbivory including leaf damage by leaf age class and new leaf production in the upper canopy of Eucalyptus tereticornis at EucFACE

Measurements of leaf damage as a result of leaf chewing insect herbivores were collected over two years between 2012 and 2014 at the EucFACE site. Eucalyptus tereticornis branches were tagged at the start of each year and leaves uniquely numbered and tracked over this time period. Data collected includes monthly leaf damage occurring to three different leaf age classes (expanding, mature and old), the average number of new leaves produced per branch, the proportion of new expanding leaves complexly lost due to herbivory and leaves which escape herbivory during the expansion phase.
