Graduate Assistant to work on the mechanisms for and affects of the invasion of Phalaris arundinaceae (reed canary grass) in depressional wetlands of southern Minnesota.
This project is a collaborative effort between Minnesota State University, Mankato and the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
The student will begin January 2009 and work in a suite of wetlands that have been invaded and not invaded by P. arundinaceae
The goals of the project are to
1) to describe the vegetation structure (relative species abundance) and function (npp as above ground biomass) of wetland vegetation communities of study wetlands, and
2) to determine the relative importance of anthropogenic disturbances (e.g., nutrient loading, stabilized hydroperiod, or use of herbicides) as mechanisms for the invasion of P. arundinaceae.
A B.S. in Biology or Plant Science and experience in plant identification is preferred but not required. Extensive field and greenhouse experiment experience will be acquired.
The assistantship is funded for two years and includes a $11,700 annual stipend and a full tuition waiver. |
