The effects of soil salinity and soil temperature, initial planting density, and removal of competition on survival and growth of outplanted species were examined. Germination response of four native wetland sedges to different water, salinity and temperature regimes was also investigated. Final survival exceeded 70 percent in four of the seven outplanted species. Soil salinity and soil temperature were negatively correlated with survival in only one species. Planting density and removal of competition had little effect on final survival and growth of outplanted species. Germination under experimental conditions exceeded 25 percent in only two of the four sedge species studied. Overall, seeds germinated to a higher percentage under lower temperatures and salinities than under higher temperatures and salinity levels. Water level had little effect on final germination percentage. xi, 113 leaves Mon, 01 Dec 2003 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/7022 2003-12-01T00:00:00Z Brimacombe, Karen A http://hdl.handle.net/10125/7014 xii, 79 leaves Fri, 01 Aug 2003 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/7014 2003-08-01T00:00:00Z Stephens, Sonia H http://hdl.handle.net/10125/6989 Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of soil disturbance on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi root colonization and the growth of invasive and native Hawaiian plants, predicting higher AMP dependency in native species than invaders, with consequent decreased root colonization and plant growth with disturbance. Six species were grouped into 3 pairs (1 native: 1 invasive) and plants were grown in disturbed and undisturbed treatments in the greenhouse and field for 4/6 weeks. Root colonization, root length, stem and seedling height, leaf number, shoot and root biomass, and mycorrhizal dependency (MD) were measured. Root colonization was not affected by disturbance. Disturbance hindered growth of Acacia confusa, Acacia koa, Eidens pilosa, and Eidens sandvicensis. Data from only 1 pair (Acacia sp.) showed native plant MD greater than invader MD. The relationship between soil disturbance, root colonization, and plant growth may be species specific, and no native or invasive species trends were detected. vii, 76 leaves Thu, 01 May 2003 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/6989 2003-05-01T00:00:00Z Weisenberger, Lauren A
