Microbial responses to plant functional types and historical resources additions in the shortgrass steppe

Bontti, Eliana E., author, Burke, Ingrid, advisorColorado State University. Libraries2009

… This is particularly important in the shortgrass steppe (SGS), where plants with the C3 or C4 photosynthetic pathway differ in phenology, which affects the timing of maximum N uptake and root exudate production.

Prairie dogs, plants, and pollinators: tri-trophic interactions affect plant-insect floral visitor webs in shortgrass steppe

Hardwicke, Kelly, author, Detling, James K., advisor, Henk, Shanna Carney, committee member, Kondratieff, Boris C., committee member, Stolhgren, Thomas J., committee memberColorado State University. Libraries2006

… seven paired colony and off-colony sites on the Shortgrass Steppe Long-term Ecological Research site. On colonies, there was greater cover of forbs and bare ground, more inflorescences/m2 in all three years, more open flowers/m2 in 2004 and 2005, and greater floral biomass presented by the most …

Interactive effects of chronic nitrogen addition and pulsed deluge events on community structure and function of the shortgrass steppe

Linabury, Mary C., author, Smith, Melinda D., advisor, Blumenthal, Dana, committee member, Havrilla, Caroline, committee member, Nippert, Jesse, committee memberColorado State University. Libraries2025

… dynamics in two grassland ecosystems: a shortgrass steppe in northeastern Colorado and a tallgrass prairie in northeastern Kansas. The first chapter of this dissertation established how the two grassland ecosystems responded to five years of nitrogen press along a gradient of addition …

Climate change and plant species composition and community structure in the Central Grassland Region of North America

Byrne, Kerry M., author, Lauenroth, William K., advisor, Klein, Julia A., advisor, Adler, Peter B., committee member, Knapp, Alan K., committee memberColorado State University. Libraries2012

… structure at study sites located in the shortgrass steppe and mixed grass prairie. My results demonstrate that ecosystems located within the same biome may respond differently to similar changes in precipitation and temperature, primarily due to differences in community structure, …

Long-term analysis and appropriate metrics of climate change in Mongolia

Jamiyansharav, Khishigbayar, author, Ojima, Dennis Shoji, advisor, Pielke, Roger A., advisor, William, Parton J., committee member, Knapp, Alan K., 1956-, committee memberColorado State University. Libraries2010

… intensity I conducted the case study over the Shortgrass Steppe Long-Term Ecological Research site on Northern Great Plains of US to imply the findings in semiarid shortgrass steppe of Mongolia. The study site has much of similarities with Mongolian shortgrass steppe and has more frequent, high …

Breeding success, prey use, and mark-resight estimation of burrowing owls nesting on black-tailed prairie dog towns: plague affects a non-susceptible raptor

Conrey, Reesa Catheline Yale, author, Antolin, Michael F., advisor, Theobald, David M., committee member, Davis, Richard A., committee member, Savidge, Julie, committee member, Skagen, Susan K., committee memberColorado State University. Libraries2010

… dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) burrows in the shortgrass steppe of northern Colorado. We examined effects on prey use, nest density, and breeding success, and used mark-resight methods for owl population estimation. Prairie dogs experience high mortality from plague, and their colonies are …
