| Abstract: Wild velvet-grass (Holcus Ianatus) collected from a natural population along a drought gradient, previously demonstrated as genetically homogeneous, was studied for phenotypic plasticity and acclimation mechanisms to water deficits. A three months greenhouse experiment was designed with plants submitted to nine levels of water availability, three months being the usual length of summer drought in field conditions. Aboveground biomass, total soluble proteins, free proline, free polyamines, leaf morphology, stomatal and hair characteristics, and net photosynthetic rates were analysed, and their significance discussed. Moderate drought did not damage the velvet-grass, and the plants grew better than without water limitation. Water stress-typical responses were shown as time and severity dependent in all the measured parameters. Lowest water availability treatments induced significative increase in free proline and soluble protein contents, as well as reductions in leaf size and aboveground biomass. Spermidine contents rose significatively in the most severe water stress. Furthermore, velvet-grass acclimated progressively to long-term water limitation. |

| Abstract: Organoarsenic-based chemical warfare agents (CWAs) such as the sternutators diphenylchloroarsine (CLARK I), diphenylcyanoarsine (CLARK II) or phenyldichloroarsine (PFIFFIKUS) still pose a notable risk in countries where former military bases that have stored these weapons have not yet been reclaimed. In fact, this is the case for many countries of Eastern Europe and the CIS. One of the most important military bases of the former Third Reich, the Heeresmunitionsanstalt I and II, is situated close to the German-Polish border at Loecknitz (Fig. 1). The German army stored and decanted different compounds of CWAs at this military base until 1945. When the Soviet Army destroyed the base in 1946, large amounts of CWAs and other organoarsenic compounds polluted the soil. Today up to 250 g (!) of arsenic may be found in 1 kg of soil at some places in this area. Since 1991, a Government Working Group has been working on the risk assessment in order to define the scope of reclamation measures. This study investigates the contamination and the uptake of arsenic by plants because little is known about the bioavailability and metabolism of sternutators and their constituents. The total arsenic concentration of nine different species of terrestrial plants with at least six samples per species is presented. In spite of the considerable arsenic contamination of the soil (mean value 923 mg arsenic/kg soil) the plant contamination remained comparably low. The median value of arsenic contamination of the above-ground organs of velvet grass, Holcus lanatus, was 0.7 mg/kg dry wt. and the mean value was 4.3 mg/kg dry wt. due to some highly contaminated samples. The highest arsenic concentration registered was 26 mg/kg dry wt. in a sample of H. lanatus, which was most probably caused by soil particles adhering to the plant. The chemical structure of the arsenic compounds carried by the above-ground plant organs has been determined by gas chromatographic investigations and showed an uptake of triphenyl arsine by the plants. |

| Abstract: We studied the ecological effects of the invasion of coastal dunes by Lupinus arboreus (yellow bush lupine), an introduced species, and used the results to develop manual restoration techniques on the North Spit of Humboldt Bay. Vegetation and soil data were collected in five vegetation types representing points along a continuum of bush lupine's invasive influence. We collected data on the number and size of shrubs, vegetation cover, and soil nutrients. One set of plots was subjected to two restoration treatments: removal of lupine shrubs only, or removal of all nonnative vegetation and removal of litter and duff. Treatments were repeated annually for four years, and emerging lupine seedlings were monitored for three years. Prior to treatment, ammonium and nitrate were found to increase along the lupine continuum, but organic matter decreased at the extreme lupine end. Yellow bush lupine was not the most significant variable affecting variation in soil nutrients. After four years, nonnative grasses, including Vulpia bromoides, Holcus lanatus (velvet grass), Bromus spp. (brome), and Aira spp. (European hairgrass), were significantly reduced in those restoration plots from which litter and duff was removed. Native species increased significantly in vegetation types that were less influenced by lupine. By the third year, soil variables differed among vegetation types but not by treatment. Bush lupine seedling emergence was higher, however, in plots receiving the litter and duff removal treatment. Based on these results, we conclude that bush lupine invasion results in both direct soil enrichment and indirect enrichment as a result of the associated encroachment of other nonnative species, particularly grasses. Although treatment did not affect soil nutrients during the period of this study, it did reduce establishment of normative grasses and recruitment of new bush lupine seedlings. Restoration should therefore include litter and duff removal. In areas that are heavily influenced by lupine and contain few native propagules, revegetation is also required. |

| Abstract: Management of pastures in steep terrain can be expensive in terms of time, chemical inputs, and equipment requirements. Management of those portions of pasture that will yield the most for minimum inputs requires a knowledge of the spatial patterns of the soil and atmospheric environments. A steep 2.4-ha unimproved pasture in southern West Virginia was studied to determine the spatial dependency of aboveground biomass production on soil characteristics.The predominant soil of the study site was Gilpin silt loam (fine-loamy, mixed, mesic, Typic Hapludults) with an average A-horizon pH (1:1 H-2O) of 4.5 (range 3.8 to 6.1). The study site was broadcast seeded with red fescue (Festuca rubra L.) in 1982, making it the major plant species. However, several other plant species, including orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.), red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), white clover (Trifolium repens L.), broomsedge (Adropogon virginicus L.), velvet grass (Holcus lanatus L.), yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.), and wild strawberry (Fragaria virginiana L.), and others were common. Transects were laid out up and down the north-facing, south-facing, and west-facing slopes and one transect was established on the contour for measurement of soil characteristics at a 1-m spacing. Plant aboveground biomass was measured at a 2-m spacing on three of the slope transects and on the contour transect.Although correlation analysis failed to find many statistically significant relationships between biomass production and soil characteristics, cross-semivariogram analyses of biomass production and surface soil pH and extractable Al, Mn, and P indicated that a strong spatial dependency exists.Those relationships were used for identifying homogeneous areas of biomass production and associated soil characteristics by ordinary kriging. |
