The general purpose of this study was to investigate the question:
Is unionization disruptive of intra-institutional relationships on community college campuses ?
The introduction of faculty unions into the
college community is often perceived, even by proponents, as a process
which engenders hostility and disruption. Social conflict theory
is the...
The influence of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) on
populations of general taxonomic and functional groups of naturally-occurring
rhizosphere bacteria and actinomycetes associated with
roots of sweet corn (Zea mays var. rugosa) and subterranean clover
(Trifolium subterraneum L.) was assayed using selective media.
Sporangial production by Phytophthora cinnamomi was also used as...
Fire, other disturbances, physical setting, weather, and climate shape the structure and function of forests throughout the Western United States. More than 80 years of fire research have shown that physical setting, fuels, and weather combine to determine wildfire intensity (the rate at which it consumes fuel) and severity (the...

Solarization could be an alternative to chemical controls for soil pathogens and weeds, and it may also influence plant growth factors. Biomass, shoot length, and AMF colonization were examined in red oak (Quercus rubra), Mazzard cherry (Prunus avium), and hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) at J. Frank Schmidt & Son Co. nursery...

Studies were conducted on inoculation of container-grown plants
with vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizae.
Intraradical vesicles formed in colonized roots were found to
serve as propagules and significantly contribute to the infectivity
of these roots. A procedure was developed for separating
intraradical vesicles from roots; isolated intraradical vesicles were
able to colonize...
A study, consisting of two sequential greenhouse experiments, was
designed to determine the effects of soil liming upon the fungal
partner in a mycorrhizal association. A Willamette Valley foothill
soil, of the Jory series, was limed in increments to achieve a range
of acidity and alkalinity. The P-deficiency and P-fixing...
