From:Journal of Soil and Water Conservation (Vol. 51, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedCrested wheatgrass have been introduced into the Great Plains because of their high resistance to cold and drought. However, the proliferation of crested wheatgrass has adversely affected the biological diversity of the...

From:Ecology (Vol. 80, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedBiocontrol organisms are generally applied in an attempt to reduce the vigor of target species and provide native species with an competitive advantage. We tested the effectiveness of a widely used biocontrol moth,...

The Cyanobacterial Role in the Resistance of Feather Mosses to Decomposition-Toward a New Hypothesis
Cyanobacteria-plant symbioses play an important role in many ecosystems due to the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen (N) by the cyanobacterial symbiont. The ubiquitous feather moss Pleurozium schreberi (Brid.) Mitt. is... -
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 8, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedThere is currently limited understanding of the contribution of biological N.sub.2 fixation (diazotrophy) to the N budget of large river systems. This natural source of N in boreal river systems may partially explain...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 6, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedNitrogen is a key regulator of primary productivity in many terrestrial ecosystems. Historically, only inorganic N (NH.sub.4 .sup.+ and NO.sub.3 .sup.-) and L-amino acids have been considered to be important to the N...

From:Journal of Soil and Water Conservation (Vol. 55, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedNitrogen fixing plants can shift the competitive balance away from stress-tolerating long lived perennials in favor of invasive plants with the ability to thrive in N enriched soils (Huenneke et al. 1990; Carson and...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 11, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedThe microbiome of plants is diverse, and like that of animals, is important for overall health and nutrient acquisition. In legumes and actinorhizal plants, a portion of essential nitrogen (N) is obtained through...
