While we could not significantly corroborate those findings we did find evidence that E. cruciferarum does inhibit A. petiolata’s allelopathic and competitive effects which benefits some target neighbor species such as Impatiens capensis and Elymus canadensis. We also found that the inhibition of A. petiolata by E. cruciferarum had negative consequences on another neighboring invasive species (Lonicera maackii) compared to those grown next to uninfected A. petiolata. Acer saccharum, a slow-growing species had no effect between neighbors. Sterilization treatments had variable effects on target plants, many of which mirror the effects which allelopathic plants (A. petiolata) that disrupt soil microbes seem to have. Sterilization inhibited growth of E. canadensis through the destruction of beneficial effects from microbes, while increasing the growth of L. maackii by inhibiting the pathogenic effects of microbes. 2012 English text Wright State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=wright1363272398 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=wright1363272398 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
