Emmonsiosis of rodents in an agroecosystem [PDF]
Medical Mycology, 1998 Adiaspores of Emmonsia crescens were found in the lungs of 62.1% of 87 adult rodents from 10 windbreaks compared to only 8.2% of 184 adult rodents caught in 10 adjacent arable fields in South Moravia, Czechland. A significantly higher mean weight proportion of plant remnants (predominantly small roots) was present in the soil from windbreaks (0.74 ...

Testing the paradox of enrichment along a land use gradient in a multitrophic aboveground and belowground community [PDF]
, 2012 In the light of ongoing land use changes, it is important to understand how multitrophic communities perform at different land use intensities. The paradox of enrichment predicts that fertilization leads to destabilization and extinction of predator-prey
