Loss of foundation species: consequences for the structure and dynamics of forested ecosystems
Aaron M. Ellison,Michael S. Bank,Barton D. Clinton,Elizabeth A. Colburn,Katherine J. Elliott,Chelcy R. Ford,David R. Foster,Brian D. Kloeppel,Jennifer D. Knoepp,Gary M. Lovett,Jacqueline E. Mohan,David A. Orwig,Nicholas L. Rodenhouse,William V. Sobczak,Kristina A. Stinson,Jeffrey K. Stone,Christopher M. Swan,Jill Thompson,Betsy Von Holle,Jackson R. Webster +19 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the loss of foundation tree species changes the local environment on which a variety of other species depend and how this disrupts fundamental ecosystem processes, including rates of decomposition, nutrient fluxes, carbon sequestration, and energy flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Invasive Plant Suppresses the Growth of Native Tree Seedlings by Disrupting Belowground Mutualisms
Kristina A. Stinson,Stuart A. Campbell,Jeff R. Powell,Benjamin E. Wolfe,Ragan M. Callaway,Giles C. Thelen,Steven G. Hallett,Daniel Prati,John N. Klironomos +8 more
TL;DR: Novel evidence is presented that antifungal phytochemistry of the invasive plant, Alliaria petiolata, a European invader of North American forests, suppresses native plant growth by disrupting mutualistic associations between native canopy tree seedlings and belowground arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel weapons: invasive plant suppresses fungal mutualists in america but not in its native europe
Ragan M. Callaway,Don Cipollini,Kathryn Barto,Giles C. Thelen,Steven G. Hallett,Daniel Prati,Kristina A. Stinson,John N. Klironomos +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that phytochemicals, benign to resistant mycorrhizal symbionts in the home range, may be lethal to naïve native mutualists in the introduced range and indirectly suppress the plants that rely on them.
Journal ArticleDOI
The invasive plant Alliaria petiolata (garlic mustard) inhibits ectomycorrhizal fungi in its introduced range
TL;DR: In the field, EM fungal root tip biomass was lower in invaded soils, with the strongest reductions observed in forests dominated by conifers, while growth of pure cultures of all three species of EM fungi was completely inhibited by benzyl isothiocyanate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ready or Not, Garlic Mustard Is Moving In: Alliaria petiolata as a Member of Eastern North American Forests
TL;DR: Although no single mechanism appears to explain the success of garlic mustard, a combination of plant traits—all slightly different from those of native plants—seems to confer garlic mustard with tremendous success in the new habitats it invades.
