Investigating the role of soil legacy effects and community engagement in the management of Lespedeza cuneata, an invasive legume
(East Carolina University, 2020-11-23)
Invasive plant species present a growing threat to biodiversity. Many invasive plants are able to recruit microbial symbionts in their novel range and establish plant-soil feedbacks that influence growth and fitness. These ...
Social Factors Key to Landscape-Scale Coastal Restoration: Lessons Learned from Three U.S. Case Studies
(2020-01-23)
In the United States, extensive investments have been made to restore the ecological function and services of coastal marine habitats. Despite a growing body of science supporting coastal restoration, few studies have ...

(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)
To quantify possible long-term impacts from the 2010 Gulf of Mexico (GOM) Deepwater Horizon oil disaster, this study analyzed data procured from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's mandatory Southeast ...
MANIPULATION OF FLOODING AND NUTRIENTS INFLUENCES PLANT-MICROBE INTERACTIONS AND WETLAND FUNCTION
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)
The largest global stocks of organic carbon are in soils, where plants fix atmospheric carbon dioxide into biomass at higher rates than soil organic carbon is lost through decomposition and microbial respiration. Specifically, ...
Investigating candidate genes for an association with skin color pattern in the mimic poison frog Ranitomeya imitator
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
Understanding the genetic basis of adaptive traits can help us better understand their evolution. The mimic poison frog, Ranitomeya imitator, is native to Peru. Like many other species of poison frogs, it has aposematic ...
