Here we used a mesocosm experiment to examine the relationship of foraging and burrowing activity in two dominant New England crab species, Sesarma reticulatum and Uca pugilator, and the combined effect of inundation, on the dominant high marsh plant species Spartina patens using a 3 × 2 factorial design with three crab treatments (Sesarma, Uca, control) at two levels of inundation (low, high).
We used a mesocosm experiment to isolate effects of the anecic introduced earthworm, Lumbricus terrestris L. on seedlings of 14 native plant species representing different life form groups (perennial herb, graminoid, and tree).
Using a field mesocosm experiment, we show that environmentally relevant concentrations of fertilizer, a herbicide, and an insecticide, individually and as mixtures, increase densities of schistosome-infected snails by increasing the algae snails eat and decreasing densities of snail predators.
We conducted a mesocosm experiment using eight plant species of European wetlands, including both forbs and graminoids.
CCAP 920/8 was isolated by directly recovering a single calcifying cell from a water sample collected from a mesocosm experiment, using a glass capillary micropipette and growing them in an appropriate medium (J. Green pers. comm).
We used a controlled mesocosm experiment to test for mark-induced differences in survival and growth rates, and growth-induced differences in mark retention and readability, between VIE-tagged and cold-branded juvenile pinfish.
Based on a mesocosm experiment of arbuscular mycorrhizal and ectomycorrhizal artificial plant communities, we examined how mycorrhizal types determine plant soil microbiota feedbacks.
A mesocosm experiment was designed to assess the effect of atmospheric CO2 increment on the salinity tolerance of the C3 halophyte Salicornia ramosissima.
To analyse decomposition dynamics on abandoned alpine pastureland where organic material accumulates on the soil surface a mesocosm experiment was conducted.
