[APWG] Correct Link NEWS: Cheatgrass facilitates spillover of a seed bank pathogen onto native grass species

[Pyle, Charlotte - Tolland, CT]

a slight change to the link from the USFS webpage worked for me:

> Description: Attack by pathogens can have ecological consequences for
> plants at many scales, such as the individual, population and community
> scale, although the latter is the least studied. Community-level
> consequences of disease in natural plant communities can drive
> facilitation in succession (Van der Putten, Van Dijk & Peters 1993),
> maintain species diversity in tropical rain forest (i.e. Janzen-Connell
> hypothesis; Clark & Clark 1984) and promote exotic invasion via negative
> feedback loops (Callaway et al. 2004). The pathogens involved in the above
> community-level interactions are often restricted to a narrow host range
> and target the seedling or reproductive stage. Although these studies are
> useful in providing an understanding of the consequences of disease in
> natural plant communities, they do not address the dynamic and complex
> consequences of disease caused by multiple-host pathogens, nor do they
> address pathogens that target the critical seed stage.
