Journal ArticleDOI
A structural equation model analysis of postfire plant diversity in California shrublands.
TL;DR: It is inferred from the SEM results that postfire richness in this system is strongly influenced by local conditions and that these conditions are, in turn, predictably related to landscape-level conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Untangling the biological contributions to soil stability in semiarid shrublands
V. Bala Chaudhary,Matthew A. Bowker,Matthew A. Bowker,Thomas E. O'Dell,James B. Grace,Andrea Redman,Matthias C. Rillig,Nancy Collins Johnson +7 more
TL;DR: Estimates of effects that BSCs, plants, and AM fungi have on soil stability in these models are used to suggest the relative amounts of resources that erosion control practitioners should devote to promoting these communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of disturbance on germination and seedling establishment in a coastal prairie grassland: a test of the competitive release hypothesis
Heli Jutila,James B. Grace +1 more
TL;DR: Overall, most of the effects of disturbance could be explained by cumulative light penetration to the soil surface, an indicator of total competitive release, although a few specific effects could be found (particularly for the cutting treatment).
Journal ArticleDOI
Macroclimatic change expected to transform coastal wetland ecosystems this century
Christopher A. Gabler,Christopher A. Gabler,Michael J. Osland,James B. Grace,Camille L. Stagg,Richard H. Day,Stephen B. Hartley,Nicholas M. Enwright,Andrew S. From,Meagan L. McCoy,Jennie L. McLeod +10 more
TL;DR: Based on current and projected climatic conditions, it is project that transformative ecological changes are probable throughout the region this century, even under conservative climate scenarios.
Journal ArticleDOI
Niche differentiation between two rhizomatous plant species: Typha latifolia and Typha angustifolia
James B. Grace,Robert G. Wetzel +1 more
TL;DR: Results from this study indicate that T. latifolia is competitively superior in shallow water because of its greater leaf surface area but that those plants growing in deeper water had taller leaves, a greater allocation to leaves, and a decreased allocation to sexual and vegetative reproduction.
