Examining the utility of DNA barcodes for the identification of tallgrass prairie flora. [PDF]
Appl Plant Sci, 2021 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.

Biosilicification in monocots: Comparative analysis highlights contrasting patterns of deposition. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract 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]
Ecol ApplAbstract 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.

Ecohydrology of wetland plant communities along an estuarine to tidal river gradient
Ecosphere, Volume 11, Issue 9, September 2020., 2020 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

Correlated evolution of dispersal traits and habitat preference in the melicgrasses
American Journal of Botany, Volume 111, Issue 10, October 2024.Abstract Premise Seed dispersal is a critical process impacting individual plants and their communities. Plants have evolved numerous strategies and structures to disperse their seeds, but the evolutionary drivers of this diversity remain poorly understood in most lineages. We tested the hypothesis that the evolution of wind dispersal traits within the

Wetland restoration: can short‐term success criteria predict long‐term outcomes?
Restoration Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 7, September 2024.Worldwide wetland loss over the past 50 years has made wetland conservation a public policy priority, leading to an increase in wetland restoration programs. However, predicting long‐term restoration outcomes remains difficult. The monitoring of these programs rarely exceeds 5–10 years, forcing wetland managers to rely on short‐term success criteria ...
