- Title
TESTING LIFE HISTORY CORRELATES OF INVASIVENESS USING CONGENERIC PLANT SPECIES.
- Authors
Gerlach, John D.; Rice, Kevin J.
- Abstract
The article presents a study which examines whether invasiveness is associated with differences in life history traits using congeneric annual thistles in California. It explores differences in congeners in their response to different sizes of soil disturbance and to clipping, while grazing is thought to impact Centaurea establishment. It shows that differential growth responses of congeners to various sizes of canopy gaps resulted to large differences in fecundity and adult size.
