Beyond forest cover: Land use and biodiversity in rubber trail forests of the Chico Mendes Extractive Reserve
(Resilience Alliance, 2009)
Among the strategies to promote sustainable tropical forest development around the world, the Federal Extractive Reserve System of Brazil is widely cited as an exemplary model. It is designed to protect rubber tapper ...
Mysterious mycorrhizae? A field trip and classroom experiment to demystify the symbioses formed between plants and fungi
(University of California Press, 2009-09)
Novelty and uniqueness patterns of rare members of the soil biosphere
(American Society for Microbiology, 2008-09)
Soil bacterial communities typically exhibit a distribution pattern in which most bacterial species are present in low abundance. Due to the relatively small size of most culture-independent sequencing surveys, a detailed ...
Forest floor depth mediates understory vigor in xeric Pinus palustris ecosystems
(Ecological Society of America, 2007)
Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) woodlands and savannas are among the most frequently burned ecosystems in the world with fire return intervals of 1-10 years. This fire regime has maintained high levels of biodiversity in ...
Assessment of the diversity, abundance, and ecological distribution of members of candidate division SR1 reveals a high level of phylogenetic diversity but limited morphotypic diversity
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009-06)
We used a combination of 16S rRNA gene clone library surveys, quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis, and fluorescent in situ hybridization to investigate the diversity, abundance, and distribution of members of candidate division ...
