Drivers of planted seedling survival and growth in a Mediterranean‐climate woodland restoration experiment

Joe Atkinson, John Matthew Dwyer, Tom D. Le Breton, Alexandria M. Thomsen et autres

Abstract Introduction The restoration of degraded ecosystems is an important means of promoting and conserving biodiversity. However, restoration projects on average fail to reach target biodiversity levels within the time frames they are studied. Competition from non‐native groundlayer grasses and forbs, potential …

Just add water: exceptional plant recruitment in arid zone mine rehabilitation

Rachel Jayne Standish, Todd E. Erickson, Jonathan Fisher, Tim K. Morald

Rehabilitation is needed to address social and ecological impacts of high-intensity mining activity in the Pilbara region. Yet success is limited by the arid climate, lack of topsoil, and poor plant establishment from sown seeds. Our observations suggest potential for assisted and …

Phosphorus supply affects seedling growth of mycorrhizal but not cluster-root forming jarrah-forest species

Rachel Jayne Standish, Matthew Ian Daws, Tim K. Morald, Jane Speijers et autres

Abstract Aims Fertiliser is often used to kick-start ecological restoration despite growing evidence of the potentially negative impacts on plant diversity. Jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) forest species growing on nutrient (especially phosphorus) impoverished soils in southwestern Australia have a suite of adaptations for …

Microbial inoculation to improve plant performance in mine‐waste substrates: A test using pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan)

Wei Wong, Tim K. Morald, Andrew Steven Whiteley, Paul Nevill et autres

Abstract Mining activities alter soil physicochemical and biological properties that are critical for plant establishment. Revitalisation of soil biological properties via microbial inoculations can potentially be adopted to improve vegetation restoration. Here, we evaluate the feasibility of using beneficial microorganisms in the …

Mycorrhizal symbiosis and phosphorus supply determine interactions among plants with contrasting nutrient‐acquisition strategies

Rachel Jayne Standish, Felipe E. Albornoz, Tim K. Morald, Richard J. Hobbs et autres

Abstract Highly diverse plant communities growing on nutrient‐impoverished soils are test beds for theories on species coexistence. Here, neighbouring mycorrhizal and non‐mycorrhizal plants compete for limited phosphorus. The impact of below‐ground interactions on community dynamics is underexplored. We used an experimental approach …

Effect of plant root symbionts on performance of native woody species in competition with an invasive grass in multispecies microcosms

Christina Birnbaum, Tim K. Morald, Mark Tibbett, Rick Bennett et autres

Abstract The majority of terrestrial plants form mutualistic associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and rhizobia (i.e., nitrogen‐fixing bacteria). Understanding these associations has important implications for ecological theory and for restoration practice. Here, we tested whether the presence of AMF and rhizobia …
