Fungi helping cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) invasions in North America
Researchers discovered that a new fungal-plant relationship developed between cheatgrass plants (Bromus tectorum) and a fire-dependent fungus (Morchella). The fungus grows into the plant tissues and increases the biomass and seed production of the grass. More biomass leads to more … Continue reading

Using benthic barriers to stop Eurasian watermilfoil
Benthic barriers use geotextile fabric, plastic or other materials placed over the ground under water to stop the growth of unwanted rooted aquatic plants (for more information on benthic barriers see http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/plants/management/aqua023.html). A recent study looked at how long barriers needed … Continue reading
