Provenance, lifespan, and phylogeny : testing a conceptual framework for plant community management

Creator:

Benfield, Cara D.

Abstract:

Successful conservation management requires an understanding of how species respond to intervention. Native and exotic species may respond differently to management interventions due to differences arising directly from their native or exotic origin (i.e., provenance) or from differences in life-history or phylogenetic lineage that are associated with provenance. Thus, selection...

Drivers of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community composition in roots : hosts, neighbors, and environment

Creator:

Phillips, Wendy S.

Abstract:

The vast majority of terrestrial plant species live in symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). AMF and plants live in complex networks, with roots of individual plants hosting multiple AMF, and single AMF colonizing multiple plants concurrently. Through the exchange of resources, the two partners of this symbiosis can have...
