Intraspecific trait variation and community assembly in old-field grasslands
… approaches are increasingly used in plant community ecology, but previous research has largely ignored functional trait variation within species. Here I investigated the role of intraspecific trait variation in community assembly and responses to spatial and temporal environmental …

Community Ecology Of Soil Microbes In Southeast Usa Oak-Pine Woodlands
… communities can have important effects on plant growth and plant community ecology; however, the relationships between trees and soil microbial communities are still relatively poorly understood. Here i examine several of these relationships. Chapter 1 examines how ecological restoration …

Fire Ecology of Northern Andean grasslands: Estimating recent fire history and its impact on páramo plants
… the páramo, yet fire regimes and the response of plant communities to fire are not well understood (Luteyn, 1992; Laegaard 1992; Ramsay and Oxley, 1996; Ramsay, 2001; Horn & Kappelle, 2009). A significant challenge in investigating fire dynamics in the páramo is the lack of fire histories (Ramsay, …

Integration of field-based analysis of plant community dynamics with quantitative analysis of landscape change in the Ray Roberts Lake area, 1987-1997
… on the effectiveness of integrating traditional plant community analyses with landscape ecological analyses based on remotely sensed data. A temporal analysis of plant community diversity was conducted for major plant communities of the Ray Roberts Lake area using transect monitoring data …

Forests in a changing world: conifer leaf traits, community shifts, and climate change adaptation
… that the contribution of species turnover to community-level trait values was tightly linked to climate while the contribution of intraspecific trait variation, despite being more important, was not. This suggests that species turnover will likely be the main mechanism by which these …
