Feedback between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can affect species diversity
in plant and fungal communities. Feedback depends on (1) some specificity between plants …

Thickets in the northeastern United States typically consist of opportunistic, early
successional plants, a category that includes few if any rare species. Nonetheless, some of …

The serpentine barrens of Pennsylvania and Maryland are increasingly recognized as a
global hotspot for rare and endemic species, and are the focus of management efforts by …

This paper describes methods used to investigate the effects of post-European settlement
land-use on the structure and species composition of a central Pennsylvania woodlot …

This study investigates the influence of parasitic western dwarf mistletoe on prescribed fire
behavior and limb flammability of ponderosa pine. Fall season prescribed fires were applied …

Mature, unmanaged forests in western North America provide important reference
conditions for managers, yet little is known about fuel composition and the factors that …

The Darlingtonia fens, found on serpentine soils in southern Oregon, are distinct
communities that demonstrate a balance among high water tables, shallow soils, the …

Dwarf mistletoes (Arceuthobium spp.) are native flowering plants that parasitize a range of
conifer species throughout western North America. Dwarf mistletoes are considered …

A relatively unexplored mechanism that may promote species coexistence in plant
communities is plant-soil feedback, an important component of which are mycorrhizal …

We understand little about the factors that determine and maintain local species diversity of
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), the reasons why a single plant has multiple AMF …
