Although genetic, environmental, and G x E effects on aboveground phytochemistry have been well documented in trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides), little work has focused on the same factors affecting tissues underground. Belowground plant defenses are likely important mediators of root-feeding herbivores that can strongly influence plant fitness. We used a common garden of potted aspen trees to explore the...
