Check out my latest paper from my postdoc @MortonArboretum. We found that bison grazing and fire helped shape AMF communities @Nachusa. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

As spring gets underway, conservationists are purposely setting Illinois tallgrass prairies on fire to protect native species and revitalize one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world. trib.al/LdP5qQA

My evidence-based restoration lab is looking to recruit as many as three students - one MSc interested in plants co-advised by @SoilOrgMatters, one PhD interested in small mammals @Nachusa and one PhD interested in island/seabird/invasives. More info here hjones82.wixsite.com/website…

Soil microbial communities are so complicated! It's exciting to see some trends emerging from long-term research on impacts of restoration and bison grazing on habitat restoration @Nachusa .

New in @ESAEcology:
Spore traits mediate disturbance effects on arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal community composition and mutualisms

ALT Trait profile plot of AM fungal spores. Each point represents a single AM fungal spore, with shading showing spore volume and shape showing disturbance treatment. F+/- and G+/- denote prescribed fire and grazing. The density plots show the most common spore luminance and color saturation values in each disturbance treatment. Red lines and circles denote the most common trait profile of AM fungal spores

Great feature on science and management @Nature_IL @Nachusa restoring tallgrass prairie plants and animals for the long-term! Major props to @ErinGRowland for sharing her work!
Nachusa Grasslands is a restored swath of prairie, woodland, and wetland with many plant and animal species native to Illinois. trib.al/N5oPmW5

Summertime is a great time to get involved with volunteering. But let’s be honest, any time is a great time! @SoilOrgMatters shares her perspective for @WNIJNews about how to help our great natural areas in Illinois. nature.ly/3ylc2u7

@Nature_IL @Nachusa really hitting peak coneflower this week!
Well prairies are a lovely pale purple this week due to Echinacea pallida blooming. We had to stop and get a photo op of this lovely planting @Nachusa before going off to core more soil. Had so much fun getting to know @jmasterbell better. #RestorationEcology
ALT Beautiful prairie with much blooming coneflower.
