Old World Bluestems (OWBs), Bothriochloa ischaemum (L.) Keng and Bothriochloabladhii (Retz.) S.T. Blake, are a group of non-native grasses that have been released and promoted in the central and southern Great Plains. Since the 1920s, millions of...
Old World Bluestems (OWB), introduced from Europe and Asia in the 1920s, recently have begun to raise concerns in the Great Plains. Despite determination in the late 1950s that OWS were weedy and negatively impacted biological diversity, they were...
The introduced shrub Tamarix ramosissima Lebed. invades riparian zones, but
loses competitiveness under flooding. This was tested in Tamarix ramosissima by
examining responses to flooding by soil type in a greenhouse setting. A field study
examined...
Disturbance of ecosystems by road construction results in habitat fragmentation and edge effects. Studies assessing effect of road construction on the native plant communities and dispersal of exotic plant species have indicated this type of...
Invasion by nonnative plants is particularly prevalent in wetlands. While the ecological patterns in wetland plants are well known, it is less well known how flooding-related soil conditions influence the physiological success of introduced species...
"Climate change has the potential to alter the size, shape, and location of species’
distributions. As a result, the interactions between species are also likely to be impacted as
novel species encounter each other and historical community...
