Infection by the systemic fungus Epichloë glyceriae alters clonal growth of its grass host, Glyceria striata. [PDF]
Parasites and pathogens are hypothesized to change host growth, reproduction and/or behaviour to increase their own transmission. However, studies which clearly demonstrate that parasites or pathogens are directly responsible for changes in hosts are lacking.

The occurrence of Glyceria striata (Lam.) Hitchc. in Europe and the new localities of the species in Poland [PDF]
Glyceria striata (Lam.) Hitchc. is a North American species that has been recorded in most, semi-natural habitats in Europe, e.g. in meadows, bog springs, margins of water bodies. It is circumscribed within two taxa of lower rank: G.

Examining the utility of DNA barcodes for the identification of tallgrass prairie flora. [PDF]
Premise The tallgrass prairies of North America are one of the most threatened ecosystems in the world, making efficient species identification essential for understanding and managing diversity. Here, we assess DNA barcoding with high‐throughput sequencing as a method for rapid plant species identification.

Determining the effects of biochar and an arbuscular mycorrhizal inoculant on the growth of fowl mannagrass (Glyceria striata) (Poaceae) [PDF]
Biochar is gaining attention as an organic soil amendment that can increase plant yields and improve soil fertility. We studied the effect of biochar on the growth of fowl mannagrass (Glyceria striata (Lam.) Hitchc.) (Poaceae), propagated in a greenhouse

Biosilicification in monocots: Comparative analysis highlights contrasting patterns of deposition. [PDF]
Abstract Premise New insights into biomineral uptake and sequestration are important for understanding how plants grow. Some plants accumulate silica accretions in precise locations in particular cells. Among monocots, controlled biosilicification occurs in several different forms and is restricted to commelinids and orchids. Methods We utilized energy‐

Long-term effects of haying and prescribed fire on the composition and diversity of wet prairie plant communities. [PDF]
Abstract Plant species composition and diversity in many terrestrial ecosystems depend on frequent disturbances. Management of these historically disturbance‐dependent habitats often requires replicating past disturbance regimes or implementing management approaches that mimic their ecological effects.

New localities of Glyceria striata ( Poaceae ) in Poland and its current distribution in Europe.
The paper describes the occurrence of Glyceria striata in 10 new localities in western and southern Poland. Most of the fowl mannagrass populations were found in wooded areas, in gaps of ash-alder riparian forests ( Fraxino-Alnetum ) near flowing or ...

Epichloë glyceriae infection affects carbon translocation in the clonal grass Glyceria striata [PDF]
Summary • Systemic fungal endophytes derive resources from hosts and can affect host resource movement and integration. We examined whether infection by Epichloe glyceriae altered clonal growth of its host, Glyceria striata, through changes in physiology.

Ecohydrology of wetland plant communities along an estuarine to tidal river gradient
Abstract Abiotic filters that interact with wetland plant communities along tidal–fluvial gradients are highly dynamic, and understanding their quantitative thresholds and relationships to interspecific competition is important during an era of sea‐level rise and watershed hydrologic change. Yet, landscape‐scale studies of major coastal rivers from the
