Description

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. Data for the paper in BMC Ecology: Andrew N. Gherlenda, Ben D. Moore, Anthony M. Haigh, Scott N. Johnson, Markus Riegler, Insect herbivory in a mature Eucalyptus woodland canopy depends on leaf phenology but not CO2 enrichment, BMC Ecology.

Description	Branches and leaves were monitored monthly for leaf damage and new leaf production at EucFACE. Leaves were marked and tracked within each year. Monitoring occurred over 2 years. One set of trees were monitored from October 2012 to February 2013. The second set of trees was monitored from August 2013 to March 2014. The DAMAGE variable indicates the mean percentage of damage that has occurred over the entire monitoring period regardless of leaf age.

One set of trees were monitored from October 2012 to February 2013. The second set of trees was monitored from August 2013 to March 2014. The BRANCH_NEW variable indicates the average number of new expanding leaves observed. The TREE_NEW variable indicates the cumulative number or new leaves observed per tree across all monitored branches. RAINT2 is the monthly amount of rainfall two months prior.

Description	14 branches per tree were tagged (approximately 100 leaves initially) and monitored monthly for leaf damage and new leaf production at EucFACE. Leaves were marked and tracked within each year. Monitoring occurred over 2 years. One set of trees were monitored from October 2012 to February 2013. The second set of trees was monitored from August 2013 to March 2014. The AGECLASS variable indicates the age of leaves at the time leaf chewing damage occurred. 1 = old leaves, 2 = mature expanded leaves, 3 = young expanding leaves. The DAMAGE variable indicates the mean percentage of damage that has occurred over the entire monitoring period. Blank spaces indicated none of that leaf type was observed.

Description	Branches and leaves were monitored monthly for leaf damage and new leaf production at EucFACE. Leaves were marked and tracked within each year. Monitoring occurred over 2 years. One set of trees were monitored from October 2012 to February 2013. The second set of trees was monitored from August 2013 to March 2014. The UNDAMAGED variable indicates the percentage of new expanding leaves which had no signs of insect leaf chewing damage. The LOST variable is the percentage of new expanding leaves which had been completely removed due to leaf chewing insects.
