Presentation on soil seed bank and aboveground vegetation dynamics presented at the Ecological Society of America 2023 Annual Meetings in Portland, Oregon by Ryan Schroeder (presenting author), Molly Reichenborn, Erik Lehnhoff, and Akasha Faist.
Congratulations Ryan, awesome work! It's remarkable to see research that can be directly used by land managers to help make decisions about rangeland restoration, so I love the soil seed bank suitability tool. I also really like the way you quantified the degradation gradient and it was so cool to see the similarities between your seed bank samples and my conmod samples! Have you seen the recent research suggesting that Prosopis is polyphyletic and reassigning P. glandulosa to the Neltuma genus? I just stumbled across that last week, and was curious if you had thoughts about it!
@astervalleyfarm thanks! I'm glad that you like it! I have heard that Prosopis is getting re-named into Neltuma, but I haven't read the paper yet that provides the argument. So I can't really say much on it at the moment. I go back and forth between being a lumper and a splitter (both from a soils and species perspective), so if the reason makes sense biologically and functionally, I can jive with it.
Wonderful presentation, Ryan! 👏🏽 I especially enjoyed seeing your seed bank samples. All about the herbaceous taxa 🤩✨. Congratulations on the new gig as well!
