Description
This thesis investigated how management affects plants, seedbanks, and rhizospheric bacterial communities in grasslands. Control strategies studied reduced invasive grass cover in desert grasslands even though the invader holds unique root-associations with bacteria. Seedbank stores of invaders were high in both desert and dairy-country grasslands suggesting control strategies should also reduce seedbanks.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
