  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Effects of disturbance modes on mycorrhizal fungus communities at Crater Lake National Park Author: Trappe, Matt Crater Lake National Park presents an excellent opportunity for ecological research due to its relatively pristine landscape, the protection of its natural features, its infrastructure, and a Park administration supportive of scientific inquiry and restoration ecology. The research presented here examines the responses of fungi to various forms of perturbation. In the first chapter, we studied fruiting responses of mycorrhizal fungi to different prescribed applications in a ponderosa pine – white fir ecotype. We found that the most influential factor in fungal fruiting patterns was the soil C:N ratio, and identified corresponding "guilds" of fungal indicator species. Although more intense prescribed burns affected soil attributes, including C:N ratios, the fire served only as a modifier on an underlying landscape pattern of soil attributes. In the second chapter we examined the effects of past and current anthropogenic disturbance on mycorrhizal fungal fruiting patterns in a mountain hemlock – noble fir ecotype. At the microsite scale, intensive use had a detrimental effect on fungal diversity and productivity, but at the scale of the research plots there was no significant effect of anthropogenic disturbance on fungal fruiting patterns. In the third chapter, we studied the effects of the abovementioned disturbance types plus the effects of wildfires on mat-forming soil fungi. We identified 38 taxa of mat-forming fungi, and found that the presence of fungal mats is largely correlated with needle litter. Several of these taxa were not previously known to form mats.

• 3. [Article] Canopy arthropod assemblages in four overstory and three understory plant species in a mixed-conifer old-growth forest in California

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Canopy arthropod assemblages in four overstory and three understory plant species in a mixed-conifer old-growth forest in California Author: Schowalter, Timothy D., Zhang, Yanli We compared canopy arthropod assemblages among overstory conifer and understory angiosperm species at Teakettle Experimental Forest in the Sierra Nevada in California during 1998–2000. Arthropods were sampled from upper, middle, and lower crown levels of one overstory tree of each of the four dominant conifer species (Jeffrey pine, sugar pine, white fir, and incense cedar), and from three understory plants of each of the major understory species (California black oak, manzanita, and white-thorn ceanothus) in each of five replicate plots during June and Aug. in each of the 3 years to represent seasonal and annual variation in abundances. Many taxa differed significantly in abundance among plant species, with one to five taxa being significant indicators for each plant species. Five to eight taxa on each plant species showed significant differences in abundance among years. Aphids and scale insects, predaceous mirids, and some detritivores showed peak abundances in 1999, a particularly dry year, whereas most other taxa showed lowest abundances during 1999 or declining abundances during this period, suggesting association with wetter conditions. Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMS), supported by multi-response permutation procedure (MRPP), showed that arthropod assemblages differed significantly among the seven plant species, especially between overstory conifers and understory angiosperms, and among the 3 years. These data indicate that the diversity and structure of arthropod communities depend on vegetation structure and/or condition, perhaps as modified by annual variation in weather conditions.
