Distribution of soil type, litter coverage, and insect herbivory in the study area. The distribution pattern of herbivory (especially in the lower stratum) is generally following that of soil type and litter coverage. In loam areas, the litter coverage (P < 0.001) and herbivory in three strata (upper: P < 0.001, lower: P < 0.001, sapling: P < 0.001) were significantly higher than that in gravel soil areas (n = 85 in loam areas, n = 101 in gravel soil areas)
