Hydromulches in Organic Strawberry Production: Effects on Densities of Insect Pests and Natural Enemies

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Liquid‐sprayable cellulose hydromulches (HM) are alternatives to plastic polyethylene (PE) mulches for weed suppression in organic agriculture. However, their impact on arthropod pests and natural enemies remains unexplored. Various HMs made of shredded newsprint, water and guar gum were compared against white‐on‐black PE mulch, paper sheet ...

Consistent root microbiomes across contrasting habitats in a wild perennial vine

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Communities of bacteria and fungi associated with the roots are similar across diverse habitats in a wild plant. Abstract While we are beginning to understand that the plant microbiome is important for plant health, we still lack information about how plant microbiomes are shaped across environments and how they influence plant performance, in ...

Change in the community of epigeal spiders and harvestmen (Araneae, Opiliones) with the age of an apple orchard

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2003
Change in the community of epigeal spiders and harvestmen (Araneae, Opiliones) was studied in an experimental apple orchard for six consecutive years. Five plots were surveyed by pitfall traps. Four of the plots were young (1-4 years); one plot was older

Planted grasslands have equivalent or higher arthropod biomass than native grassland important to nesting Sprague's Pipits (Anthus spragueii) early in the breeding season

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Grassland species are declining globally. Sprague's Pipit (Anthus spragueii), a native grassland‐obligate, nests in planted grasslands in some regions. How food resources in planted grassland compare with those in native grassland is important to determine the relative benefits of creating new grassland by seeding cropland with ...

Drivers of invertebrate community assembly during ecosystem restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Ecosystems are complex multi‐trophic systems, and successful restoration needs to consider the mechanisms that underpin the reestablishment of biotic interactions. Critical to supporting this is improved understanding of the ecological processes that govern community assembly.
