Species of <i>Dickeya</i> and <i>Pectobacterium</i> Isolated during an Outbreak of Blackleg and Soft Rot of Potato in Northeastern and North Central United States by Rebecca D. Curland, Amanda Mainello, Keith L. Perry, Jianjun Hao, Amy O. Charkowski, Carolee T. Bull, Ryan R. McNally, Steven B. Johnson, Noah Rosenzweig, Gary A. Secor, Robert P. Larkin, Beth K. Gugino, Carol A. Ishimaru

“…Multiple species of <i>Pectobacterium</i> and <i>Dickeya</i> are causal agents, resulting in losses to commercial and seed potato production over the past decade in the Northeastern and North Central United States. To clarify the pathogen present at the outset of the epidemic in 2015 and 2016, a phylogenetic study was made of 121 pectolytic soft rot bacteria isolated from symptomatic potato; also included were 27 type strains of <i>Dickeya</i> and <i>Pectobacterium</i> species, and 47 historic reference strains. …”

Scientific case studies in land-use driven soil erosion in the central United States: Why soil potential and risk concepts should be included in the principles of soil health by Benjamin L. Turner, Jay Fuhrer, Melissa Wuellner, Hector M. Menendez, Barry H. Dunn, Roger Gates

“…To test this hypothesis, a variety of data sources and analyses were used to uncover the land and water resource dynamics underlying noteworthy cases of soil erosion (either wind or water) and hydrological effects (e.g., flooding, shifting hydrographs) throughout the central United States. Given the evidence, we failed to reject the hypothesis that cultivation expansion is contributing to increased soil and water externalities, since significant increases in cultivation on soils with severe erosion limitations were observed everywhere the externalities were documented. …”
