Are Stimulating Effects of Elevated CO[subscript]2 on Plant Physiology Counteracted by the Reduced Light and/or Water Availabilities Commonly Associated with Global Change?
Nelson, Gregory T.; Schneider, Adam; Kreiser, Molly (2012-04)Although greater availability of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO[subscript]2) associated with global change is expected to boost productivity of many plant species, increase in plant size and density may increase competition ... -
Environmental Crystalline Silica Exposure in Wisconsin : a Risk Assessment and Evaluation
Nelson, Gregory T.; Fay, James; Kleist, Andrew (2012-04)As many new and proposed sand mines and processing plants in Wisconsin add to the 2,300 current industrial sources, public exposure to small particles including respirable crystalline silica (RCS) is increasing rapidly. ... -
Evaluation of Conceptual Synthesis Model through Trait Beta Diversity
Nelson, Gregory T.; Urhammer, Brandon; Servey, Nathan; Klundt, Katie; Dieterich, Molly (2013-05)Assembly processes are a phenomenon observed throughout taxonomic groups and are capable of exerting evolutionary forces. Due to the ubiquity and diverse biological implications of community assembly theory, the underpinnings ... -
Interacting Influences of Global Change Factors on Leaf Stomatal Response in Prairie Grasses
Nelson, Gregory T.; Zehner, Zoe (2013-05)Plants play an important role in the carbon cycle, fixing atmospheric carbon dioxide into organic compounds. Pores in plant leaves called stomata are the gateway between the atmospheric and biological portions of the carbon ... -
Invasive Species Assessment in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness : Earthworms
Euteneuer, Morgan A.; Nelson, Gregory T.; Huebsch, Derek A.; Easland, Miles P. (2014-04)Invasive species are known to be major contributors to extinction events and alter ecological systems. Earthworms initially invaded North America via European colonists. Worms are major drivers of ecological change and are ... -
Particulate Pollution : UW-Eau Claire Student Center and Chippewa Falls Sand Plant
Fay, James; Kleist, Andrew; Nelson, Gregory T. (2011-05)The purpose of this research was to identify and address any potential hazards to public health caused by particulate matter in the air surrounding the construction site of the new UW-Eau Claire Student Center as well as ... -
Pollination Ecology of Asclepias Ovalifolia
Nelson, Gregory T.; Kreiser, Molly (2012-04)Ants have traditionally not been considered effective pollinators of milkweeds due to their inability to remove pollinia. However, the observation of the ant species Formica obscuripes successfully removing pollinia of ... -
With Changing Global Precipitation Patterns, Will the Growth of Prairie Plants Be More Constrained by Reduced Rainfall Frequency or Reduced Rainfall Volume?
Kreiser, Molly; Nelson, Gregory T.; Schneider, Adam (2012-04)Water deficits are a common limiting factor of plant growth. Many studies have looked at the effects of drought on plants, but few have independently compared the two ways a plant might experience reduced water availability: ...
