Changes in Soil Bacterial Community Structure in Bermudagrass Turf under Short-Term Traffic Stress

Changes in soil microbial community structure with tillage under long-term wheat-fallow management

Fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) were used to `®ngerprint' soil microbial communities that evolved during 25 years of wheat-fallow cropping following native mixed prairie sod at Sidney, Nebraska, USA. Total ester-linked FAMEs (EL-FAMEs) and phospholipid-linked FAMEs (PL-FAMEs) were compared for their ability to discriminate between plots remaining in sod and those cropped to wheat or left fallo...

Cumulative effects of short-term polymetal contamination on soil bacterial community structure.

In this study we evaluated the short-term effects of copper, cadmium, and mercury, added singly or in combination at different doses, on soil bacterial community structure using the bacterial automated ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis (B-ARISA) fingerprinting technique. Principal-component analysis of B-ARISA profiles allowed us to deduce the following order of impact: (Cu + Cd + Hg) >> Hg ...

‘ST-5’, a Shade-tolerant Turf Bermudagrass

‘ST-5’ turf bermudagrass is an interspecific [Cynodon transvaalensis Burt-Davy · C. dactylon (L.)] shade-tolerant triploid (2n = 3x = 27 chromosomes) hybrid cultivar released cooperatively by the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service. ‘ST-5’ was selected in 1993 from 27,700 hybrids made in 1...
