Does tallgrass prairie restoration enhance the invasion resistance of post-agricultural lands?
Foster, Bryan L.; Houseman, Gregory R.; Hall, David R.; Hinman, Sarah E. (Springer International Publishing AG, 2015-12)There is building interest in the use of ecological restoration to enhance the biotic invasion resistance of disturbed lands. However, few studies have rigorously examined the effect of community restoration on biotic ... -
Plant community recovery following Sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata) removal: testing for a soil legacy effect
Reichenborn, Molly M.; Houseman, Gregory R.; Foster, Bryan L. (Blackwell, 2020-04-22)Restoration of plant communities can be hindered by the legacy of previously established invaders, despite their physical removal from the community. Current evidence, mainly built on short-term greenhouse experiments, ... -
Propagule pressure-invasibility relationships: testing the influence of soil fertility and disturbance with Lespedeza cuneata
Houseman, Gregory R.; Foster, Bryan L.; Brassil, Chad E. (Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2014-02)Although invasion risk is expected to increase with propagule pressure (PP), it is unclear whether PP-invasibility relationships follow an asymptotic or some other non-linear form and whether such relationships vary with ... -
Targeting vulnerable life-stages of Sericea Lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata) with prescribed burns
Wong, Bryant M.; Houseman, Gregory R.; Hinman, Sarah E.; Foster, Bryan L. (WEED SCI SOC AMER, 2012-10)There is growing interest in whether invasive species may be controlled by utilizing management strategies that target vulnerable life stages. We manipulated the timing of fire and measured its effects on sericea lespedeza ...
