Our long-term observations in the Tellerman oak forest (Voronezh region) have shown that in recent decades due to climate change there have been significant changes in population dynamics of many phyl-lophagous insects. It is established that the growth processes of absorbing mycorrhizal roots of oak are closely related to the state of foliage in the crown of a tree and actively respond to its loss, and this response varies among trees of different classes of growth and depends on the intensity and replications of defoliations.
