Phytochemical diversity is increasingly appreciated as an important attribute of plants that affects their interactions with other organisms and can have substantial effects on arthropod communities, but this axis less studied for agricultural plants. For both managed natural systems, understanding how extreme weather events, such droughts, floods, wind, affect phytochemical part predicting responses plant–arthropod to climate change. In outdoor field experiment two distinct varieties hemp (Cannabis sativa L., Cannabaceae), we investigated the simulated water stress from reduced availability flooding, along unplanned wind event cannabinoid profiles. We also examined changes in chemistry affected associated arthropods. Our results indicate genetic variety environmental variation composition, these cascaded alter communities flowers. The largest differences were found between different varieties, which accounted over 10% diversity. Stress floods flowers, had negative cannabidiol (CBD) concentrations, deficit flooding caused subtle shifts composition. subsequent cascading depended it was characterized, increases CBD causing higher richness, while increased These provide insights into potential chemistry, well consequences colonizing
