Ecological consequences of genetic diversity. (2008, background): “Genetic identity and genotypic richness also affect decomposition and nutrient release in aspen (Populus tremuloides) forests (Madritch et al. 2006).”
Changing perspectives on regeneration ecology and genetic diversity in western quaking aspen: implications for silviculture (2012, unknown): “…as budburst and leaf senescence and often in terms of morphological variation, but this variance among genets also extends to growth rates (Kanaga et al. 2008), herbivore defenses (Stevens et al. 2007), suckering ability (Schier 1974), and even litter decomposition rates (Madritch et al. 2006).”
Soils as agents of selection: feedbacks between plants and soils alter seedling survival and performance (2010, background): “Recent data demonstrates that in long-term common environments, Populus genotypes can condition their associated soils to structure aspects of the microbial community and impact ecosystem processes ( Madritch et al. 2006, Schweitzer et al. 2008a).”
Within-species variation in foliar chemistry influences leaf-litter decomposition in a Utah river (2007, background): “…are similar to those of other recent studies in terrestrial systems that have also found phenotypic-, genotypic-, or cross type-level differences in both phytochemistry and leaf-litter decomposition on land (Madritch and Hunter 2002, 2004, Schweitzer et al. 2004, 2005a, b, Madritch et al. 2006).”
