Creator:

Clark, Deborah Louise, 1950-, Wilson, Mark V., Roberts, Rachel, Dunwiddie, Peter W., Stanley, Amanda, and Kaye, Thomas N.

Abstract:

Question: Most results of restoration efforts are species-specific and/or site-specific and therefore are not general enough to be easily applied to other species and other sites. Our research addresses the issue of species-specific results by investigating the feasibility of using plant traits instead of taxonomic species to characterize species responses...

Traits, neighbors, and species performance in prairie restoration

Creator:

Wilson, Mark V., Clark, Deborah Louise, 1950-, and Roberts, R. E.

Abstract:

Questions: Are traits related to the performance of plant species in restoration? Are the relationships between traits and performance consistent across the functional groups of annual forbs, perennial forbs, and grasses? Do the relationships between traits and performance depend on neighboring functional groups? Location: A former agricultural field, being restored...

Increasing the abundance of rare native wetland prairie species

Creator:

Clark, Deborah Louise, 1950-, Wilson, Mark V., and Goodridge, Jennifer

Abstract:

Native prairies of the Willamette Valley are considered among the rarest of Oregon’s ecosystems and are in critical need of conservation. Management strategies for increasing the abundance of native species are urgently needed, particularly those strategies that promote the regeneration of native species from seed. Fire may be an important...
