Ecotypic differentiation of mid-Atlantic Quercus species in response to ultramafic soils
(CSIRO Publishing, 2015)Spatial heterogeneity of soil conditions combined with intraspecific variation confer site-specific edaphic tolerance, resulting in local adaptation and speciation. To understand the geoecological processes controlling ... -
Immobilization and phytotoxicity reduction of heavy metals in serpentine soil using biochar
(Springer, 2015)Purpose: Serpentine soils derived from ultramafic rocks release elevated concentrations of toxic heavy metals into the environment. Hence, crop plants cultivated in or adjacent to serpentine soil may experience reduced ... -
Vegetation dynamics and mesophication in response to conifer encroachment within an ultramafic system
(CSIRO Publishing, 2015)The biological, ecological, and evolutionary significance of serpentine habitats has long been recognised. We used an integrated physiochemical dataset combining plot spatial data with temporal data from tree cores to ...
