Belowground Fungal Community Change Associated with Ecosystem Development
… critical to provide insight into aboveground and belowground linkages to ultimately include this new information into ecosystem theory. I hypothesized that fungal communities would change with pedogenesis, that these changes would correlate with vegetation community change, and that they should …

Responses of Above- and Belowground Forb and Plant Species Diversity to Grazing Exclusion and Fire in the Northern Great Basin Sagebrush Steppe
… loss. We assessed differences in above- and belowground diversity between burned and adjacent unburned areas, and between grazed and long-term grazing excluded areas, using soil seed bank and aboveground cover attributes in order to provide insight into ecological potentials of sagebrush …

Fire disturbance belowground: untangling consequences for soil food webs and organic matter
Soils and the ecological communities they house provide a diverse array of ecosystem services including the provisioning of food and fiber, decomposition and nutrient cycling, water filtration, and the maintenance of terrestrial biodiversity. These complex belowground communities, and therefore the …

The effects of invasive European Buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) on soil microbial community composition
… vs. reference site differences in microbial communities and nitrogen-cycling functional groups increase with increasing severity of buckthorn invasion, and I used multivariate ordination to look at general patterns of community composition across these sites. I found that buckthorn invasion …
