“…In arid and semiarid environments moisture is considered a major limiting factor to plant ecesis, distribution, and abundance (Albertson, 1937;Dix, 1960;Nicholson and Hulett, 1969). Results of this study agree.…”

“…A positive and probably real correlation was also found between sideoats grama and the 2 to 4-mm rock fraction (Table 3). Results of a study in the central Great Plains were in accord with the correlation between this species and surface rock (Nicholson and Hulett 1969).…”

Highlight: Fifty stands, representing six common and three rare species of gramas (genus Bouteloua), were sampled for vegetation abundance, species composition, and selected habitat factors. Numerical and statistical procedures were used to aid in obtaining succinct descriptions of the habitat structure of the grama species. Factors such as texture and content of various nutrients of the soils were among those that showed trends.

“…Huiskes (1979) reviewed the literature on A. arenaria and reported that it grows well on soils with a pH range of 6-9 but does not occur on soils with a pH lower than 4.5-5. Nicholson and Hulett (1969) showed positive correlation between C . longifolia occurrence and percent sand but negative correlations with water retention capacity, acidity, and percent silt.…”

“…2) where soil texture, pH, and most micronutrients and macronutrients are favourable for their growth (Nicholson and Hulett 1969). The soil, however, lacks potassium, nitrogen, and phosphorus, the primary sources of which are rainfall, detritus cast on the shoreline, and mycorrhizal fungi associated with the roots of plants (Koske et al 1975).…”

Bot. 63: 1 13-124. Some aspccts of thc population biology of two dune-forming perennial grasses, Atritt~ol>hiltr hre\,ilig~rltrttr Fcrn. and Cnlotnovilfir lotzgqolicr (Hook) Scribn.. growing along Lake Huron shoreline. were investigated undcr natural and controlled conditions. Plants ofA. breviligrrlntcr exhibit erratic flowering. ranging from n o panicles in sornc areas to 16 per hundred tillers in others. Coltrtr~ovilfir lotrg$olitr plants occur as single clulnps of' varying diamctcrs and flower profusely. Atrrtrlo/~Iriltr hrevilig~rlato expands into adjacent areas by producing plagiotropic rhizomes ranging in length from I to several m and then producing ramcts on some of the nodes. Such a growth form is best suitcd for rapid colonization of bare areas. Clumps of C . Iotlgifblitr expand outward in concentric circles through the dcvclopmcnt of diving rhizomcs, and the radius of a clump increases by about 15 to 3 1 cln per year. This growth form is well suitcd for local occupancy. Atntrrol>lriltr brevilig~rlntcr is more tolerant of burial (100 crn) in sand than C . lotrgj/'olicr (60 cm). Ctrltrrtrovi!fir lotrg//blitr produces larger number of caryopscs per square mctrc than A. hreviligrrlotcr. The weight per caryopsis of both species is similar, but the significantly greater surfacc area per fruit of A. hr.evilig~rlottr improves its flotation ability in water. thus facilitating long-distance dispersal of fruits. Establishment of C . lotlgifolicr plants undcr natural conditions occurred almost exclusively from seedlings. In contrast, the establishment of A. hrevilig~rltrttr seedlings was rare and almost all new plants along the beach originated from clonal fragments cast on the drift line by high waves. A. 1985.
