Population ecology and management of the invasive plant, Lespedeza cuneata
Lespedeza cuneata is one of the worst invasive plants across much of the North American Great Plains. In this dissertation, I describe the combination of field experimentation, statistical modeling and spatially explicit computer simulations that I used to investigate the persistence and spread of …

Invasive lespedeza cuneata and its relationship to soil microbes and plant-soil feedback
… of conspecific and heterospecific progeny. Lespedeza cuneata is an Asian legume that has become a problematic invader in grasslands throughout the United States. While L. cuneata has numerous traits that facilitate its success, it may also benefit from interactions with soil microbes. …

Effects of prescribed fire timing on vigor of sericea lespedeza in the Kansas Flint Hills
… burning on vigor of the noxious weed, sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata; SL) in native tallgrass prairie over a 4-yr period. We hypothesized that annual prescribed burning conducted during the growing season would selectively pressure SL, whereas locally-conventional, dormant-season …

Soil-plant root relationships of herbaceous biomass crops grown on the Piedmont of Virginia
… trefoil (<i>Lotus corniculatus</i>), and sericea lespedeza (<i>Lespedeza cuneata</i>) were all heavily influenced by the high densities of the nearly structureless Appling soils; but lovegrass roots were quite prolific there. For this reason lovegrass should be considered first for biomass …

Erosion control with vegetation in highway corridors
… like crownvetch (Coronilla varia L.) or sericea (Lespedeza cuneata G. Don.), requiring little or no mowing or fertilizer maintenance. In difficult environments or in adverse seeding seasons, multi-step seeding and fertilization is usually required. Erosion from slopes with sparse grassy vegetative …

Assessing the potential of mixed grazing goats with beef cattle to improve animal performance and increase the utilization of marginal pasturelands in the Appalachian coal region
… olive (Elaeagnus umbellata Thunb.), and sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata (Dum.-Cours.) G. Don). The steep topography and low economic returns from beef cattle make conventional control methods inhibitive. Goats are effective browsing on invasive plant species. An experiment was conducted in …

Seed Priming and Smoke Water Effects on Germination and Seed Vigor of Selected Low-Vigor Forage Legumes
… of birdsfoot trefoil, kura clover, and sericea lespedeza. Differences were not observed using standard germination tests, but both priming methods show potential for increased germination rate (P>0.05). Conflicting results for matric and osmotic priming were found in terms of seed storage …
