Effects of habitat fragmentation on choke disease (Epichloe bromicola) in the grass Bromus erectus

2001-04-01

Abstract excerpt

1. The fungal endophyte Epichloe bromicola causes choke disease on Bromus erectus, thereby suppressing maturation of host inflorescences. We conducted a 3-year field experiment to investigate the effects of small-scale habitat fragmentation on the occurrence of choke disease in three calcareous grasslands in the Swiss Jura Mountains, where, overall, 4.3% of all flowering tillers had diseased inflorescences. 2. The...
