The interaction between insect outbreaks and forest health or tree plantation management has been considered rarely from an experimental approach. From 1996-98, Agrawal et al experimentally created a gypsy moth outbreak that defoliated large plots of mature hybrid poplars, Populus xeuramericana, with half of the plots fertilized in a factorial design. They examined the mortality and regeneration of the coppiced trees in the following growing season.
