climate change may be giving one particular insect pest an upper hand.
Over this period, the average number of aphids and length of time they were drinking plant sap increased steadily.
Global warming is thought to increase NAO variability, shifting the system to more positive values. This will probably increase aphid activity, further harming the spruce population.
