Glyphosate toxicity and the effects of long-term vegetation control on soil microbial communities
- M. Busse, Alice W. Ratcliff, Carol J. Shestak, R. Powers
- Biology
- 1 October 2001
Abstract We assessed the direct and indirect effect of the herbicide glyphosate on soil microbial communities from ponderosa pine ( Pinus ponderosa ) plantations of varying site quality. Direct,… Expand
Changes in microbial community structure following herbicide (glyphosate) additions to forest soils
- Alice W. Ratcliff, M. Busse, Carol J. Shestak
- Biology
- 1 December 2006
Glyphosate applied at the recommended field rate to a clay loam and a sandy loam forest soil resulted in few changes in microbial community structure. Total and culturable bacteria, fungal hyphal… Expand
Soil carbon sequestration and changes in fungal and bacterial biomass following incorporation of forest residues
- M. Busse, F. Sanchez, Alice W. Ratcliff, J. Butnor, E. Carter, R. Powers
- Environmental Science
- 1 February 2009
Sequestering carbon (C) in forest soils can benefit site fertility and help offset greenhouse gas emissions. However, identifying soil conditions and forest management practices which best promote C… Expand
Ectomycorrhizal Formation in Herbicide-Treated Soils of Differing Clay and Organic Matter Content
- M. Busse, G. Fiddler, Alice W. Ratcliff
- Chemistry
- 1 February 2004
Herbicides are commonly used on private timberlands in the western United States for site preparation and control of competing vegetation. How non-target soil biota respond to herbicide applications,… Expand
Developing resilient ponderosa pine forests with mechanical thinning and prescribed fire in central Oregon's pumice region
- M. Busse, P. Cochran, +5 authors Carol J. Shestak
- Biology
- 17 June 2009
Thinning and prescribed burning are common management practices for reducing fuel buildup in ponderosa pine forests. However, it is not well understood if their combined use is required to lower… Expand
Non-Target Effects of Glyphosate on Soil Microbes
- M. Busse, Alice W. Ratcliff, Carol J. Shestak, R. Powers
- Environmental Science
- 2000
Glyphosate is among the most popular herbicides registered for forest use in California. Noted for its broad effectiveness on competing vegetation, mild effect on conifers, rapid inactivation in… Expand
