Riparian Meadow Response to Modern Conservation Grazing Management. [PDF]
Riparian meadows occupy a small proportion of the public lands in the western United States but they provide numerous ecosystem services, including the production of high-quality forage for livestock grazing.

From bench to bountiful harvests : a road map for the next decade of Arabidopsis research [PDF]
In the face of an increasing world population and climate instability, the demands for food and fuel will continue to rise. Plant science will be crucial to help meet these exponentially increasing requirements for food and fuel supplies.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal community composition associated with two plant species in a grassland ecosystem [PDF]
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are biotrophic symbionts colonizing about two-thirds of land plant species and found in all ecosystems. They are of major importance in plant nutrient supply and their diversity is suggested to be an important ...

Diversity and asynchrony in soil microbial communities stabilizes ecosystem functioning
Theoretical and empirical advances have revealed the importance of biodiversity for stabilizing ecosystem functions through time. Despite the global degradation of soils, whether the loss of soil microbial diversity can destabilize ecosystem functioning ...

A prediction from the herbivore optimization hypothesis is that grazing by herbivores at moderate intensities will increase net above-ground primary productivity more than at lower or higher intensities. I tested this hypothesis in an area of high muskox

Diagnostic Alleles From Electrophoresis Distinguish Two Noctuid Pest Species, \u3ci\u3eHydraecia Immanis\u3c/i\u3e and \u3ci\u3eH. Micacea\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). [PDF]
Native hop vine borer (Hydraecia immanis) and introduced potato stem borer (H. micacea) populations in Midwest corn have reached noticeable levels near the Great Lakes plant community ecotone between boreal forests and temperate deciduous forests.

Experimental salt marsh islands: a model system for novel metacommunity experiments [PDF]
Shallow tidal coasts are characterised by shifting tidal flats and emerging or eroding islands above the high tide line. Salt marsh vegetation colonising new habitats distant from existing marshes are an ideal model to investigate metacommunity theory ...
