Community design and how much we drive
The preponderance of evidence suggests that communities with denser and more connected street networks and a higher degree of mixed land uses results in fewer vehicle kilometers traveled (VKT). However, there is less agreement on the size of the effect. Also, there is no clear understanding of the specific aspects of community design—such as street networks and land use mix—that are most import...
متن کاملEctomycorrhizal diversity effects on plant responses to mycorrhizal associations
One of the most challenging questions faced by ecologists is whether there is a general relationship between biological diversity and ecosystem function. As rates of species extinction appear to be increasing – and evidence has emerged of decreasing biodiversity in plant and microbial communities as a result of air and soil pollution, intensification of agriculture and forestry (Pimm et al. , 1...
متن کاملThe role of mycorrhizal associations in plant potassium nutrition
Potassium (K(+)) is one of the most abundant elements of soil composition but it's very low availability limits plant growth and productivity of ecosystems. Because this cation participates in many biological processes, its constitutive uptake from soil solution is crucial for the plant cell machinery. Thus, the understanding of strategies responsible of K(+) nutrition is a major issue in plant...
متن کاملPlant community associations of two invasive thistles
In order to combat the growing problems associated with biological invasions, many researchers have focused on identifying which communities are most vulnerable to invasion by exotic species. However, once established, invasive species can significantly change the composition of the communities that they invade. The first step to disentangling the direction of causality is to discern whether a ...
متن کاملArbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Mediation of Plant-Plant Interactions in a Marshland Plant Community
Obligate aerobic AMF taxa have high species richness under waterlogged conditions, but their ecological role remains unclear. Here we focused on AM fungal mediation of plant interactions in a marshland plant community. Five cooccurring plant species were chosen for a neighbor removal experiment in which benomyl was used to suppress AMF colonization. A Phragmites australis removal experiment was...
