Lab Publications in 2015

Here's a list of publications that the Morgan Plant Ecology Lab has been associated with in 2015. I'm happy to provide PDF copies if you can't access them (email me at J.Morgan@latrobe.edu.au).
 
 

NutNet papers (global studies on bottom-up vs. top-down regulation of diversity in grasslands)

 
Fay et al. (2015) Grassland productivity limited by multiple nutrients. Nature Plants 10.1038/nplants.2015.80
 

Seabloom et al. (2015) Plant species’ origin predicts dominance and response to nutrient enrichment and herbivores in global grasslands. Nature CommunicationsVolume: 6, 7710, DOI:doi:10.1038/ncomms8710

Stevens et al. (2015) Anthropogenic nitrogen deposition predicts local grassland primary production worldwide. Ecology 96, 1459-1465.

 

Alpine ecology and conservation

Mark et al. (2015) Ecological responses to 52 years of experimental snow manipulation in high-alpine cushionfield, Old Man Range, south central New Zealand. Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research 47, 751-772.

 

Williams et al. (2015) An International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List ecosystems risk assessment for alpine snow patch herbfields, south-eastern Australia. Austral Ecology 40, 433–443.

Grassy ecosystems coexistence and change

O'Loughlin et al. (2015) The rise and fall of Leptospermum laevigatum: plant community change associated with the invasion and senescence of a range-expanding native species. Applied Vegetation Science 18, 323–331.

 

Wong et al. (2015) The incorporation of fungal to bacterial ratios and plant ecosystem effect traits into a state-and-transition model of land-use change in semi-arid grasslands. Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment 210, 11-19.

 

Plant ecology

Meehan et al. (2015) Premature opening and dimorphism in Hakea decurrens (Proteaceae) follicles: a bet-hedging regeneration strategy? The Victorian Naturalist 132, 139-146.

 

And of course, there was the launch of the book Land of Sweeping Plains by Nick Williams, Adrian Marshall & John Morgan (CSIRO Publishing), a synthesis of 40 yrs of temperate grassland ecology, restoration and conservation.
