Local-scale plant species richness and the regional species pool
Poster Number: 293 Presenter/Primary Author: Kevin Wilcox Plant community structure has been shown to impact ecosystem function. However, these effects vary among ecosystems, data collection techniques, and across spatial and temporal scales.
Widespread abrupt shifts of grasslands to a wooded state: woody encroachment in a stable-state and socio-economic framework
Poster Number: 236 Presenter/Primary Author: Zak Ratajczak Woody encroachment of global grasslands and savannas affects biodiversity and a variety of vital ecosystem services.
Changes in ecohydrology following the conversion of mesic grassland to shrubland
Poster Number: 228 Presenter/Primary Author: Jesse Nippert Shrub encroachment of grasslands is a transformative ecological process by which native woody species increase in cover and frequency and replace the herbaceous community. The mechanisms driv
Effects of Long-term Nitrogen Fertilization and Annual Burning on Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics in a Tallgrass Prairie
Poster Number: 191 Presenter/Primary Author: Michael Carson Anthropogenic activities have altered virtually all ecosystems in numerous ways, often affecting carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics on local, regional and global scales.
Tallgrass prairie recovery following persistent grazing depends on response measured
Poster Number: 168 Presenter/Primary Author: Ben VanderWeide The dynamics of tallgrass prairie plant communities have historically been driven by the interacting effects of grazing by large ungulate herbivores, frequent fire, and a variable mid-continental c
