Trophic group specific responses of alpine nematode communities to 18 years of N addition and codominant plant removal
Human-driven nitrogen (N) deposition can alter soil biogeochemistry and plant communities, both critical to soil biota. However, understanding the relative impact of the relationship between nutrient resources...

Causes and consequences of differences in soil and seed microbiomes for two alpine plants
Seed and soil microbiomes strongly affect plant performance, and these effects can scale-up to influence plant community structure. However, seed and soil microbial community composition are variable across la...

Evidence for phosphorus limitation in high-elevation unvegetated soils, Niwot Ridge, Colorado
A key challenge to understanding the effects of climate change and nutrient deposition on ecosystem functioning is our lack of knowledge about nutrient limitations of heterotrophic and phototrophic microbial c...

Litter-driven feedbacks influence plant colonization of a high elevation early successional ecosystem
Plant-microbe interactions are crucial components of ecosystem development but are understudied during early succession. The goal of this study was to investigate species-specific effects of plants on unvegeta...

Rapid temporal changes in root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and fine root endophytes, not dark septate endophytes, track plant activity and environment in an alpine ecosystem
Fungal root endophytes play an important role in plant nutrition, hel** plants acquire nutrients in exchange for photosynthates. We sought to characterize the progression of root colonization by arbuscular m...
