The Role and Contribution of Saprotrophic Fungi during Standing Litter Decomposition of Two Perennial Grass Species, <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i> and <i>Schizachyrium tenerum</i>
… respiration associated with decaying <em>Schizachyrium scoparium</em> and <em>Schizachyrium tenerum</em> leaf litter, and constructed a partial organic matter budget estimating C flow into and through fungal decomposers. Significant losses in <em>S. scoparium</em> (57%)<em> </em>and <em>S. …

A quantitative study of the vegetation of dry and dry-mesic sand prairies in Central and Northwestern Illinois
… used for Principal Components Analyses (PCA). Schizachyrium scoparium was found to be the most important species across all sampling sites, although some sites were dominated by other species. Analysis of floristic similarity and ordinations indicated that all sites could be divided in one of …

The Potential Allelopathic Effect of Several Grass Species on Native Missouri Prairie Plant Species
… bluestem), Panicum virgatum (switch grass), and Schizachyrium scoparium (little bluestem), were tested in petri plates for two weeks for potential allelopathic effects on five native Missouri prairie plant species. The receiving species tested were Asclepias tuberosa (butterfly weed), Andropogon …

Assessment of stockpiling methods to increase late summer and early fall forage biomass
… nutans (L.) Nash), and little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium (Michx.) Nash)). Native warm-season grasses produced much higher yields than all tall fescue types but the nutritive value was not adequate to support the nutrient requirements of livestock. Summer stockpiled tall fescue is a …

Legume Establishment in Native Warm-Season Grass Pastures
… nutans Nash), and 'Camper' little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) pasture in 2022 and 2023 at the Southern Piedmont AREC in Blackstone, Virginia. Planting method at three levels (no-till drill, broadcast, and non-planted control) were evaluated at three planting timing levels (fall …

Habitat characterization of Saskatchewan's Dakota skipper, Hesperia dacotae population
… Zizia aptera (A.Gray) Fernald (Apiaceae), and Schizachyrium scoparium (Michx.) Nash (Poaceae). No soil or climate variables were significant predictors of Dakota skipper presence; however the species was significantly associated with steep slopes. Warmer maximum and average ground-level …

Functional diversity of fungal symbiont communities and the impact of biotic and abiotic factors on their composition and assembly
… the widespread prairie grass, little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) across a 700 km gradient of mean annual precipitation (MAP) and over a span of two years. I used Illumina sequencing of the fungal barcode rDNA (ITS2) to characterize the diversity and composition of fungal communities and …

When do propagules matter? The role of ecological filters and regeneration dynamics during community assembly in tallgrass prairie restorations
… with sown dominant grasses (Andropogon gerardii, Schizachyrium scoparium, and Sorghastrum nutans) and subordinate species (three unique pools of non-dominant species) as the subplot factor, with treatment (control vs. suppression of dominant grasses) as the sub-subplot factor, respectively. …

Enhancement of diversity via disturbance and seed addition in two sand prairies dominated by different grasses
… compared in two communities dominated by either Schizachyrium scoparium, a native warm-season (C4) grass, or Bromus inermis, a non-native cool-season (C3) grass. Five years of vegetation surveys and a single-year seed bank sampling were conducted. A decline in % cover of non-dominant species with …
