Mycorrhiza Expert.pdf (flat) (336 kb); St. John: a booklet for the restoration professional, giving a synopsis of the information needed to use mycorrhizae in habitat restoration. This version is in "flat" format, .readable on the screen and can be printed easily, but does not make a booklet. Leaf.pdf
(43 kb); St. John: a Forest Service paper about beneficial organisms in the
soil. HW_nursery.pdf (46 kb);
St. John: a Hortus West paper about mycorrhiza in the nursery. Tooltech.PDF
(41 kb); St. John: From (Restoration and Management Notes) mycorrhizal
inoculation with the land imprinter to fungi. Includes some preliminary results
from San Onofre State Beach, including the five-fold increase in seedling
survival and doubling of plant species richness on inoculated plots. LWMZ.pdf (43
kb); St. John: (Land and Water) Mycorrhizal inoculation in habitat
restoration. Practical details of mycorrhizal inoculation in commercial
projects. venezuela.pdf
(116 kb); St. John (Acta Cientifica Venezolana). A report and discussion of a mycorrhizal survey in two types of
lowland tropical rainforest at San Carlos de Rio Negro, Venezuela. SoCAlBot.PDF (19 kb); St. John. "Never treat soil like dirt: how to tell the difference and how to turn each into the other." Presentation to the Southern California Botanists annual meeting, October 21, 2000. Habitat restoration LWAZ.pdf
(123 kb); St. John et al.: A description of a successful restoration project
in Arizona, which made use of land imprinting and mycorrhizal inoculation.
This article appeared in Land and Water March/April 1998. Onofre.pdf
(83 kb); Riefner et al.: About a very successful restoration project in
coastal southern California. The project made use of land imprinting and
mycorrhizal inoculation. This article appeared in Land and Water July/August
1998. engl.pdf
(21 kb); St. John and Scott: The text of a booklet in preparation (for
several years) about planting Englemann oaks. Many of the principles are
applicable to other oaks and other kinds of plants. Antifertz.pdf (19 kb); St. John: A review of
the scientific literature related to mineral nutrition of wild plants, and
the (first?) proposal to remove nutrients from the soil to prevent weed
competition in habitat restoration. This topic has been the subject of
considerable research in the last two or three years. This article appeared
in a symposium volume in 1988. Jelly.pdf (148
kb); Fidelibus and Bainbridge: The effect of containerless transport on
desert shrubs. A description of "jellyrolling," a method for
transporting seedlings, that has much to recommend it over conventional
container-bound methods. We should be using this not only in the desert, but
in almost any restoration situation where small plants are used. Bainbridge.pdf (522
kb); Bainbridge et al.: The beginner's guide to desert restoration. An
excellent summary of methods used by David Bainbridge and colleagues for
small-scale restoration projects. This pdf is in booklet format: it is hard
to read on the screen, and requires printing by a special
procedure. Once you have done so, you will have an excellent addition to
your library. CalEPPCshort.pdf (316
kb); St. John: Nitrate immobilization and the mycorrhizal network for the
control of exotic ruderals. A poster presented at the 1998 CalEPPC symposium
in Ontario, California. The paper describes the weed-suppressing effect of
removing nitrogen and establishing the mycorrhizal network in the soil. It
includes descriptions of one large commercial project and three small test
projects in which the method was very successful. Several photographs. Misc. topics Worms.pdf
(430 kb); Wood and James: This is a great introduction to earthworms, which
are first class taxicabs for mycorrhizal fungi. This paper is apparently the
only survey and thorough study of earthworms in southern California. You will
be surprised where they can be found. It teaches you how to distinguish
native from introduced earthworms. |
