Abstract
⺠Pine processionary moth and artificial defoliations caused significant growth losses. ⺠Radial growth loss was proportional to defoliation intensity and lasted 2 years. ⺠Old and highly defoliated trees were subsequently killed by bark beetles. ⺠Defoliation also affected carbon and nitrogen contents in stem and needles. ⺠Defoliation is likely to affect stem growth through N and C resources limitation.
