How does elevated grassland productivity influence populations of root hemiparasites? Commentary on Borowicz and Armstrong (Oecologia 2012)
Original language description
In their recent study, Borowicz and Armstrong (Oecologia 169:783-792, 2012) investigated effects of nutrient availability and competition for light on a perennial root hemiparasite Pedicularis canadensis. Their study showed a reduction of community productivity as a result of hemiparasite infection independently of a clear positive effect of increased nutrients. In contrast, there was a minimal effect of increased competition for light on growth of the parasite. Here, we summarize the available data onthe influence of nutrient availability (closely related to productivity) on temperate grassland root hemiparasites thus expanding the discussion presented by Borowicz and Armstrong (Oecologia 169:783-792, 2012). Most studies show that root hemiparasitesare highly sensitive to elevated competition for light in productive environments, which is manifested as an increase in mortality coupled to a decrease in population density. Such responses reflect increased mortality of hemiparasite see
